Well, it happened to me, but after I pressed the "reset" button while 
doing a massive yum install (the computer was frozen while playing with 
Compiz during the install). (as a matter of fact, that happened to me 
twice, don't remember why I used reset the second time).

And I had some strange IO errors in another occasion (at the F9 Release 
Party, gave a KDE4 stick to people to play with it, after a while the 
GUI was frozen, Ctrl+Alt+F1 to a text terminal showed some IO errors, 
didn't get the time to see if it still boots)
