Which kernel are you running? This seems to be related to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130024 and
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/4/14/127 , which was fixed (upstream, at
least) by at least kernel 2.6.13, but would be unlikely to have been in
the lauch Fedora kernel.

Hope this helps,
