Indeed, upgrading to kernel-2.6.11-1.1341_FC4 seems to have solved
this aspect of the problem. Thanks very much.
Meanwhile, the other error messages with regard to networking remain:
i.e. NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out. I've attached below
the diagnostics run under the new kernel. I'd like to chase down this
problem, but I'm unsure from what angle to attack.
Best wishes,
