Could you please put it in the Fedora bugzilla? (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/) Could you try getting the kernel sources from kernel.org and compiling a "vanilla" kernel? If the problem persists, put it in the kernel bugzilla (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/), and report it to the Linux Kernel Mailing List. If the vanilla kernel works, you've got a perfectly good workaround for your problem, and you've got something interesting for the Fedora kernel crew to look at: please mention that the vanilla kernel works in your Fedora bugzilla report. Sorry I can't be of more help, James. -- E-mail address: james | The other mice secretly thought that Roger's poncho @westexe.demon.co.uk | made him look like a cheap lampshade, but even they | had to admit that the live chicken was a truly | stylish accessory. -- Ursula Vernon
