It's the same hardware as before, and it was booting from a USB stick containing Fedora 20 final test candidate 2 which uses kernel 3.11.8. An immediate reboot did not reproduce the problem, nor multiple subsequent reboots. I think I previously mentioned a preponderance of these events happen when booting from USB sticks. It would be nice to have an identical model for this testing. I suspect most users wouldn't go to the trouble to report the occasional, seemingly one off, events like this. So unfortunately it's uncertain if the hardware I have has a unique problem, or if it's a model specific behavior.
