Yes I have the same

I have filed this bug the other day.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453298

This is on X86_64 FC9 and I have same issue on a "clean" install of FC9,
was working on DVD install and then following yum update does not work.

Can boot with older kernel and is ok, so I personally think its a kernel
issue on FC9
