after installing the current koji kernel for my x86_64 system (for the purpose of testing video), very early in the boot process, i got the following diagnostic flashing on the screen, followed by a total system hang:
JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-0:8 - disabling barriers
i powered down, powered back up, and got further into the boot process up to the network initialization, then rapid flashing of ADDRCONF messages on the screen, then another hang.
hang on, a quick followup. the system wasn't hung, video was just trashed but i could still get to the virtual consoles. so i'm guessing it's a video thing. argh.
