FC4: problems with kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC4

Dear all,
I have recently updated the kernel of one of our servers. The new kernel
(2.6.17-1.2139_FC4) appears not to recognize the host controller. Thus,
some devices, such as the USB controller, do not work. When the new
kernel is used, lspci does not even show the host bridge and the USB
controller; here is the result of lspci when the new kernel is used:
00:02.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 0649 Ultra ATA/100
PCI to ATA Host Controller (rev 02)
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)
00:05.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Advanced System
Management Controller

To make things work I needed to roll back to the old kernel release
(2.6.16-1.2115_FC4). Here is the result of a lspci when the old kernel
is used:
00:00.0 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge (rev 32)
00:00.1 Host bridge: Broadcom GCNB-LE Host Bridge
00:02.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 0649 Ultra ATA/100
PCI to ATA Host Controller (rev 02)
00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702X
Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02)
00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL (rev 27)
00:05.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Advanced System
Management Controller
00:0f.0 ISA bridge: Broadcom CSB6 South Bridge (rev a0)
00:0f.1 IDE interface: Broadcom CSB6 RAID/IDE Controller (rev a0)
00:0f.2 USB Controller: Broadcom CSB6 OHCI USB Controller (rev 05)
00:0f.3 Host bridge: Broadcom GCLE-2 Host Bridge

Has anybody experienced anything similar? Is there any new module I need
to load for the 2.6.17 kernel to work?

I thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
	Alberto Ferrante
