Might be the hotplug stuff. Do you have any pc-cards in the system? One
thing you might want to try is booting into single-user mode, then
disabling pcmcia from starting on boot, as it appears that might be causing
the oops.
In order to boot into SU mode, hit "e" in the grub menu to edit the boot
entry, go to the "kernel" line, go to the end and add "S" at the end of the
line, then hit <enter> to save the change and "B" to boot that entry. The
system will boot for a little bit, then drop you at a command prompt. Once
there, you can run "chkconfig --level 345 pcmcia off" which will disable
pcmcia from starting on boot. Then enter "telinit 3" which will boot your
system up to runlevel 3 and you can start debugging the issue.
