These things should just work, and if they don't, you'd know about it.
Since you've got as far as you have, they're unlikely to be a problem.
If you want to play with kernel parameters, try noacpi. A dodgy ACPI
implementation on your motherboard could cause problems.
Hope this helps,
James.
noapic and nolapic did not work anyway. I tried and had segfault. I
use mencoder to encode some stuff and surely it crashes after some
time. I tried mencoder (along with the needed libs) which was working
100% stable under FC5.
Giving noacpi a shot and will report back soon.
