Have your checked the system to ensure that the cables are not loose? Sometimes heat buildup can be a factor in causing expansion cards and connections to loosen after a while. Another possiblity may be that the particular hardware needs DMA to be enabled. In Fedora Core, it is *disabled* be default. If you look through the list archives, you will see discussions on how to re-enable DMA. Sorry I cannot be of further help, but someone more skilled than I might get you the solution.
