This issue has been resolved, thanks to someone who contacted me after 
viewing my setup page.  The key lies in the shared memory used for the 
video.  Because of it, the kernel needs a reserve statement to make it 
skip this memory.  Adding

reserve=0x1e000000,0x20000000

to my "kernel" statement in the grub.conf did the trick.  Now, my entire 
kernel statement reads

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-5.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet 
reserve=0x1e000000,0x20000000

This didn't fix the "powernow-k8" errors, and MySQL is still starting 
up, but at boot time it says it's timing out.  Any ideas about these two 
issues?
