Thank you all for the responses. I went to reboot my laptop into the old 3.2.2 kernel to confirm that it was having the same issue, and it boot into it with no problem. I then reboot my laptop and let it start up with the latest 3.2.7 kernel, and it, too, started with no problem again.
There doesn't seem to be any consistency to it. Hadn't had a chance to make any of the suggested changes below....
One possible explanation is dodgy memory: do give it a check. The memtest86 on a Fedora install would be good for that. There’s also a chance that some other part of your system (possibly the processor) isn’t working quite properly: keep an eye out for that. (One traditional stress-test for processor and memory is a kernel compile).
Hope this helps,
James.
Hmm, yes, that is interesting. It boots into the newest kernel now with no changes from you when it wasn't before. Definitely sounds like it could be hardware related.
