Welcome to Fedora
Once it finally did boot I went in and sent a smolt profile of my
machine. It is here:

With all the weird errors I've seen I think that F9 is having some
difficulty with the SATA/IDE controllers/drives.
This machine has three SATA controllers:
Gigabyte 2 int 2 ext
AMD660 4 int
HighPoint 2300 4 int
I see such errors on every Fedora LiveCD I've ever built (even on my
non-standard
embedded boards). They are only related to the CD device itself and
don't seem to
hurt anything (except one's sensibilities)
