Seriously- either there is something awry with how 2.6X kernel interacts w/ your hardware or some aspect of your system is... err... hosed. --BTW have you tried any other 2.6X distro on that HW? or... there is indeed a fedora specific issue. If it were me I'd boot something w/ 2.6.X (knoppix can do that) and see if the issues persisted, Comparing 2.4X kernel to 2.6X is *very* much an apples to oranges sort of thing, both are round but share little else in common. Bugzilla as/if applicable of course. IMHO if there were a distinct trend towards the issues you are seeing this list would be *full* of 'mysystem'sgonetohell(tm)" and is slower than snot since I installed FC3... I may be missing something but don't think I've seen that on this list since FC3's release. Other issues sure- this one not much. FYI- I've been running FC3 TX & FC3 on some pretty marginal hardware (only 128 MB RAM w/ GUI etc), and have been surpirised @ how 'snappy' FC3 seems. -- Bests, Jon
