they're very early builds, so it's certainly plausible. when you say it
"totally hung" - how far did it get? did the screen blank? any error
messages?
totally black, no disk activity, no virtual consoles, nothing. so,
as i described, i just rebooted to the immediately previous (working)
kernel, noticed that "yum update" would give me an even newer kernel,
updated, booted and all was well. so i'm not going to worry overly
about it, i'm just curious if anyone else ran into something similar.
system: asus G74s, i7 quad-core.
