I've booted from a Fedora live CD - that's how I'm getting those logs 
out of the machine - the machine runs fine and acts normally in that 
mode, so I sort of don't think this is hardware. I have only reinstalled 
Fedora once since 2003 due to an intractable problem I grew tired of 
trying to solve - it rubs me the wrong way to give up, though it is 
probably the simplest path. My data is multiply backed up, so that's not 
an issue - think I'll wait and see if anyone else has the time to look 
at those logs - you sort of confirmed what I thought about them, but, 
one never knows
