I must agree, I have applied several updates to my system including the latest kernel from http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/ and I have no real issues, execpt for cdrom, but I changed the driver to ide-scsi and update udev the system is as stable as one could wish for. and I must say I am testing 33 systems right now for our company. Maybe post the exact problems and we could probably have already fixed them simply.
