Bizarre, really bizarre - it isn't often I get a report which is entirely
unique but you've managed it - well unless you are using the Nvidia
binary drivers for 3D on Nvidia cards ?
Can you tell me what SATA controller you have and what the rest of the
system is (lspci -vvxx would be good). It would be best if you opened a
bug in bugzilla.redhat.com and let me know its number. I can take it from
there.
Other useful information would be the boot messages ("dmesg") when it
boots up without rebooting.
