This is:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462167
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=458972
The kernel which works best (and the most recent one which works) is
2.6.25.14-108.fc9. I haven't tried any of the 2.6.27 builds in updates-testing-
newkey yet, they may or may not fix the problem.
