Could this be similar to my problem where FC 3 kernels boot, but FC 4
ones do not?
The problem might be related to the differences between the way devices
are managed between FC3 and
FC4. Look into UDEV and other possibilities. I think the kernel is
missing some features that the FC4 kernel used to have compiled in.
ACPI is a different issue, HP laptops cannot boot without it for some
models. The model mentioned above and my HP ze4315us cannot boot without
ACPI being functional.
