And how is Red Hat "not caring" w.r.t. this BZ entry? I looked at it and
the last "Red Hat activity" is davej's post from 2004-01-20. Granted
this is one month ago, but we're all in FC2 test frenzy since quite a
while and have heaps of stuff which needs to be done before the next
test release (others way much more than I).
Mind you that Fedora is a Community Project (with a capital "C"),
"community" being first and foremost about giving, not taking. This is
one point where also people with non-RH addresses can come into play ;-)
-- configure a serial console from another computer, log the
traces/oopses/whatever, trace them back to where it fails and compare
the FC1 kernel to kernel.org's one where it differs in that regard. This
shouldn't be exactly hard for a kernel developer as you are ;-).

Really, try out the 2.6 kernel, it is hugely different from 2.4 stuff...
Running the following command might help you finding what the Intel
binary crap^Wonly drivers messed up in XFree86 space:
rpm -V $(rpm -qa XFree86\*)
Also look out for libGL*.so* files not owned by XFree86 and remove them:
locate '*/libGL*.so*'
rpm -qf .... (<- result from above cmd here)
