PAE kernel won't boot on Lenovo T61

[mcmackin]

I seem to have come to the root of my problem. The DVD installs the PAE kernel. The LiveCD installs the generic kernel. For some reason, the PAE kernel won't boot on my hardware. It locks solid right when the splash screen tries to switch to X.

It may not be the kernel.
When booting up press Esc key to get grub kernel lines.
select the kernel, press e
select the main kernel line, press e
backspace over "rhgb quiet"
add to the line
selinux 0 3
when you see the logon prompt
logon as useryou
startx

debug from there.

When I was playing with it earlier, I set the runlevel to 3 in the inittab and all I got were permissions errors. I will try again tonight, but I will say that the general kernel does boot just fine, so there must be something different.

I already have selinux turned off in it's config file...

Here's what I've found in /var/log/messages...

[SlowJet]

There is a couple of packages in koji today or yesterday that had lock fixes.
rpl?
Look thru the rawhide updates logs on fedora-.test-list, fedora-devl-list

I don't think that is a PAE issue.

[mcmackin]

I applied all the updates today and it still locks up although there is no circular lock error.

Just thousands of lines of the following with nomodeset and nothing obvious with just 3.
