As others have said:  you chose the wrong tool for the job.  Fedora
isn't for running on anything you want to keep stable in service for a
long time.  Heck, even the 
http://fedoraproject.org/en/about-fedora
page explicitly says that fedora devs "don't mind shaking up the status
quo, when it means we can more effectively move free software forward"

So maybe you should consider switching your servers to a RHEL 6 (or
clone) so they'll be stable and have new hardware support.  Heck, even
for my home servers I don't run fedora because shaking it up every 6
months or so is a pain...I can't imagine trying it on production
servers.

[For the record, I like systemd, but I couldn't stomach Gnome3.  So the
F15 upgrade was a mixed bag for me.  Switched to XFCE and I'm happy
again]
