This may not be related, but it seems as though the kernel is having
issues loading devices in general. Mabe there's a kernel option that
changed? I get these USB device errors right before it starts
complaining about accessing swap:
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5
hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6
Now keep in mind, the old 2.6.24.7-92.fc8 kernel still boots everything
just fine, which leads me to believe kernel options have been changed
that are having issues with my hardware.
