What does F18 say in syslog /var/log/messages regarding any
'conflict's
in address space during initialization of the linux kernel?
Not sure. Conflict comes up in the context of the fb and nouveau, which has always been a
message with this video adapter. These are excerpts with the word conflict in them:

The whole thing is here:

This strikes me as either a GRUB problem, or a dracut/initramfs problem, because a 3.9.x
kernel and initramfs built on f18 boots OK. So I don't know that this is even really a
kernel problem.
If the box has a serial port, then
It doesn't. Just USB ports.
