I looked at URL, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems, for hints. It has a suggestion, under "Crashes/Hangs", "# initcall_debug will allow to see the last thing the kernel tried to initialise before it hung." I have the impression, from what is said, the kernel is hanging trying to initialize something. Perhaps this parameter will help give us a hint.
