find them here:

 http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Thu_Jun__5_16_40_50_CEST_2008.bad
 http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/log-Thu_Jun__5_16_40_50_CEST_2008.bad

NOTE: you need to copy out and use the boot parameters from the boot 
log:

 [ 0.000000] Command line: root=/dev/sda6 console=ttyS0,115200 
 earlyprintk=se rial,ttyS0,115200 debug initcall_debug apic=verbose 
 sysrq_always_enabled ignore _loglevel selinux=0 nmi_watchdog=1 
 profile=0 maxcpus=1 nosmp no_hz=off highres =0 noapic nolapic_timer 
 hpet=disable idle=mwait

as -tip testing occasionally randomizes boot parameters too. (to find 
regressions like this) Let me know if you cannot reproduce this.
