I installed F13 on my Dad's computer last night and ran into this issue. The install itself went perfectly. I'm not sure what's different between what services get run during install and regular startup, but I can boot to the recovery option of the install DVD and chroot to the system drive no problem. When I boot normally everything starts fine and then somewhere around the avahi daemon starting the system slows to a CRAWL, the abrt daemon fails to start but otherwise continues. Checking dmesg I see the following repeated probably 1000 times: serial8250: too much work for irq 19 I've googled this and the fact that my Dad's hardware is current (Acer dual core Pentium D) I don't think it actually has a 8250 UART. It could be a serial port that's not being detected correctly or an internal modem. I'll have to get him to check if he actually has one... Anyone have any experience troubleshooting things like this?
