All daily rawhide kernels after 2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 hang during init with "Starting udev:_" where the underscore '_' indicates that the VGA blinking underline cursor has stopped blinking. There is no response to any keyboard input; hardware reset is required. The hardware is plain clone and has been reliable.
Booting with serial console reveals nothing other than what is on the VGA screen: in particular, no Oops messages. Package versions are: kernel-2.6.15-1.1878_FC5 (hangs) udev-078-7 initscripts-8.21-1 kernel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 (works)
Suggestions?

I think my HW is reliable hardware too, but maybe this has something to do with hardware because most of the users do not have this problem.
I have this problem too, and I have following hardware x86 32bit: - AMD AMD Athlon XP 2000+ - don't remember what is my mb vendor, but it has Via chipset KT400/600 (from lspci) - PCI FireWire card Agere Systems FW323 (rev 61) - PCI PCMCIA card Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 80) - PCMCIA WLAN with Prism2 chipset (INTERSIL,HFA384x/IEEE) - PCI Technotrend Full Featured DVB-T card - Ati Radeon, don't remember which one, lspci reports 7000/VE - And as usual, some DVDRW, don't remember model and Samsung CDRW - 512Mb memory - 80Gb IDE - Omnikey usb smart card reader
What kind of hardware you have?

kernel-2.6.15-1.1826.2.10_FC5 kicked ass no doubt; but the good old days are gone =(
I went ahead and black listed all kernels from the upstream until I can manually test each set.
I changed yum.conf : excluded=*kernel*
