Wait a minute...
Have you read our errata?
In particular, our Intel-specific errata? Please read:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/rhl-intel/rh40-errata-intel.html
Please try out the alternate boot image. It may simply be a bug in
the kernel which is causing your problem.
It's also possible that your problem is being caused by us using
*too* new a version of the driver; if the fixed image listed in the
Errata doesn't work, please try the alternative image listed there.
