This evening when I booted Rawhide on my office computer I was greeted with a storm of file system error messages presumably related to ext4. Fsck was not able to fix things automatically. A manual invocation required a large number of "Y" responses to get through the mess. I just held down on the Y key for a while.
Since then the boot reports a clean file system. However, as the startup announced the network manager, it displayed some @@ characters, and wedged. There is no keyboard echo. ^Z and ^C do nothing. A single Ctrl-Alt-Del starts a shutdown sequence. During this sequence The X server starts and the login screen makes a brief appearance before the reboot.
This has happened before with Rawhide on this machine (Ggiabyte ga-ep45-ud3p Core Duo 8500 4 GB, SATA drives). I have not noticed any stability problems with XP or Win7 on this machine.

Filing a bug with the actual error messages and subsequent fsck output would be the way to move forward on this one.
