Yum update installed a new kernel on me this morning. I've had to drop back to the old one, because the new one just hangs during boot. What I see visually is that the HAL daemon is the last thing to load successfully, and then no further progress.
Was this machine originally upgraded from another version of fedora or redhat? is the drive you're booting off of sata?

Parsing /var/log/messages yields the following right after the HAL daemon loads:
fstab-sync[2696]: removed all generated mount points fstab-sync[2754]: added mount point /media/cdrom for /dev/hdd fstab-sync[2845]: added mount point /media/floppy for /dev/fd0 kernel: atkbd.c: Spurious ACK on isa0060/serio0. Some program, like XFree86, might be trying access hardware directly.
Any clue on what the last message is trying to tell me?
FWIW, this messages is not repeated, and FC3 loads successfully, when I drop back to the previous kernel.
