Ok.. Looks like we have now a concrete cause for this problem.
Any further reference about that? I have googled a lot and didn't find
anything so far.

BTW, I cannot upgrade my kernel now since there is a third party modem
driver binary
that only works with this kernel version.

I forgot to add:

Subsequent updates to FC6 have created a bug where some drivers no
longer load during the boot process. If you need to reload your
drivers append the modprobe command(s) to /etc/rc.local.
