reinstall of Fedora 16. It seem that I've hit an old bug 575417. I've tried
all the suggestions in this thread (including reloading the BIOS default
and re-creating initramfs) and none of them work. Using the same workaround
there (blacklisting iTCO_wdt) seems to resolve the issue. I'll see if I can
re-open the bug.
