Precision 390 and FC5

[Russell Scott]

Just got a new Precision 390, cracked open the box and installed FC5.
The install went fine with kernel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 x86_64 SMP.  I was
pleasantly surprised to see that the installer recognized the HW RAID1
setup as an array as I had heard that HW RAID could be an issue.  I then
did an update of the kernel to 2.6.18-1.2200_FC5 which just came out and
it hangs as the kernel starts to boot.  I backed out of that update and
went through the hoops to update to 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 and is also hangs
in the same place.  Anyone else seen this issue?  
 
TIA,
 
Rusty
