I do, however, have a little more data: ever since the "upgrade," my laptop's been unable to mount CD/DVD discs although it never had any trouble under F14. If I put a DVD into the drive and try to reboot to a 3.x kernel, instead of getting error messages about the sdb cache, I get errors about not being able to read the disc. For some reason, the 3.x kernels are trying to read from that drive even when it's empty, and hanging because it can't. I doubt it's something in the BIOS, or boot order, because the old 2.x kernel has no trouble booting, even though it

IIRC the BIOS will try to boot from the first disc it finds.
If said disc is not bootable, it will complain without trying elsewhere.

can't read from the drive any more either.
