Try setting "PROMPT_FOR_CONFIRM=yes" in /etc/sysconfig/boot.  You might want 
to set CONFIRM_PROMPT_TIMEOUT to something longer than 5 seconds for the 
first couple of boots.

I had similar problems on a HP dv6400 with some of the 10.3alpha kernels.  In 
my case it turned out to be /etc/init.d/boot.clock and I could lock the 
system at will by running hwclock --systohc or hwclock --hctosys 
(I don't have the problem on the current 10.3beta1 kernel and could never 
quite nail down the root cause when I was seeing the problem on earlier 
kernels.)
