I looked at URL, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems,
for hints.  It has a suggestion, under "Crashes/Hangs", 
"# initcall_debug will allow to see the last thing the kernel tried to 
initialise before it hung."
I have the impression, from what is said, the kernel is hanging trying to 
initialize something.  Perhaps this parameter will help give us a hint.
