Same problem here, also running F 10 on X86-66 and with an Asus EAH3650 Silent Magic. Although, when my stuff hangs, it's hung, I can't get to a text console at all. I have to do a hard reboot (cringe) and then grab grub on the way up to boot into run level 3. I can't tell you exactly what's choking and dying, BUT, I have at least been able to narrow it down the exact rpm that is doing the damage. It's xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.10.0-2.fc10.i386.rpm It's probably either the ati or radeo driver modules, but that's just speculation at this point. My work-around was kind of brain dead, but it's kept me running. I queried the rpm for its files, then tar'ed myself an archive of those before updating, and played them back after the update. Really, really cheesy, but I've got 9 irons in the fire right now and can't look back at the moment > I'm running X86-66 Fedora 10.
