kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5 hangs on boot

[Dax Kelson]

FYI

I have a FC5test3 box, I did a yum update about a hundred packages were
updated including kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1977_FC5.

With 1977, the system hangs on boot.

The last line printed on the screen is:

"Write protecting the kernel read-only data: 368k"

I believe this is the bug for it.

I can confirm this, I have a UP machine but I run the SMP kernel as it
tends to hit more bugs that way.

Similar problem on a Dell Inspiron 5160, freezes right after the
Synaptics touchpad.

is it still the last thing printed if you add "debug" to the kernel
options (and remove "quiet" if that is still there)

For me it was "SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks" if I remember correctly,
I'll check again once I am back at home.
