To make the story short I bought a new laptop, I tried to install with the latest installer but failed for several (already reported) reasons and I was forced to use the Alpha installer. FWIW I used the kde live installer (although this should be irrelevant in what follows).
The first time I have updated the kernel I got no usb devices working, the same happened with all the kernels released in the last week.
The error messages are: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 3 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: nommu_map_single: overflow 13329b2d0+8 of device mask ffffffff Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: nommu_map_single: overflow 1332025d8+64 of device mask ffffffff Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: WARNING: at lib/dma-debug.c:787 check_unmap+0x99/0x5d6() (Tainted: G W ) Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Hardware name: HP EliteBook 8530p Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1a.7: DMA-API: device driver tries to free an invalid DMA memory address Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Modules linked in: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Tainted: G W 2.6.31.1-48.fc12.x86_64 #1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: Call Trace: Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: <IRQ> [<ffffffff8106422c>] warn_slowpath_common+0x95/0xc3 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810642e7>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x50/0x66 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8128dae8>] check_unmap+0x99/0x5d6 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81096d2e>] ? check_irq_usage+0xc0/0xe9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff8128e257>] debug_dma_unmap_page+0x66/0x7c Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b2088>] dma_unmap_single_attrs.clone.0+0x82/0xa1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b210a>] unmap_urb_for_dma+0x63/0x114 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b222c>] usb_hcd_giveback_urb+0x71/0xea Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813c874b>] ehci_urb_done+0x8a/0xb1 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cacbd>] qh_completions+0x37f/0x50e Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813caef6>] ehci_work+0xaa/0x777 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cce0c>] ? ehci_irq+0x41/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cce0c>] ? ehci_irq+0x41/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813cd0a3>] ehci_irq+0x2d8/0x441 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810cab9f>] ? handle_fasteoi_irq+0x35/0xf9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff813b1a0f>] usb_hcd_irq+0x59/0xcc Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810c8764>] handle_IRQ_event+0x62/0x148 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810cac0d>] handle_fasteoi_irq+0xa3/0xf9 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81015030>] handle_irq+0x9a/0xba Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81505e45>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_thunk+0x3a/0x3c Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810143bd>] do_IRQ+0x6f/0xe5 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff810129d3>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0x16 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: <EOI> [<ffffffff812ff3d1>] ? acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x132/0x17a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff812ff3ca>] ? acpi_idle_enter_simple+0x12b/0x17a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81418900>] ? cpuidle_idle_call+0xa0/0xec Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff81010e8b>] ? cpu_idle+0xbf/0x10a Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: [<ffffffff814fe2d2>] ? start_secondary+0x211/0x268 Sep 27 22:08:04 localhost kernel: ---[ end trace a7919e7f17c0a727 ]---

The boot log reported in bug#524808 seems to reference dracut failing to find the root volume during bootup. I think your issue might be different. I see several similar failures, but haven't found the exact match just yet (see http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla% 3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=9b6&q=site%3Abugzilla.redhat.com+lib% 2Fdma-debug.c&aq=f&oq=&aqi=). Perhaps worth recording a new defect.
Thanks, James

I sorry I tried to retrieve the used bugzilla reports. The major problem was related with some package having symbolic links in the dm (disc management) area but after trying to get the bugzilla reports I have read without success I gave up.
I have reported the bug as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528545
Thanks,
