the device made for it, after the machine is booted. Because I had to
comment out the following line in 50-udev.rules:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="?*", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"
I had to put: "/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1" in /etc/rc.local for my
sound card driver to be loaded. I assume I need another modprobe
command for my DVD, I just don't know what it is...
Thanks

It turns out that FC5 and FC6 must have a gorked up S3 Savage4 video
driver. In the debugging output, I noticed the savage4_smbus was shown
just prior to the crash on boot. I renamed the driver (i2c-savage4.ko)
to i2c-savage4.ko.orig and the machine booted just fine. The Xinerama
feature with multiple screens seems to work just fine without the driver
so I don't know what the driver actually did for me.
