This is greatly unlikely, it's a brand new Dell XPS not even a year old. It
seems that it's a hardware issue (SATA disks) but the fact that it appeared
only when FC5 was installed on it points somewhere else. On the FC4 side the
lockups appeared only when newer kernels were installed. Back in December
the machine was running for 3 months uninterrupted doing heavy calculations
with absolutely no problem.
I'll turn off APIC and see, but this cannot be a permanent solution since
the machine is dual core...
I am not trying to take away blame from Fedora, just suggesting
possible alternate problems which could be easier resolved - have you
taken a look at your BIOS? Maybe there is an option there which FC4
dealth with better or ignored.
A computer that new should have a pretty advanced BIOS setup.
