I think the issue is that with an old install, that the fixes might just 
be in the next upgrade level. Nor can anyone relate to your specific 
problem without that version level and kernel installed in order to 
trouble shoot it.

I am very familiar with the Christian Bikers and have been on the 
receiving end of their generosity. It is on your end to maintain your 
system upgrades, as part of participation within another group that 
generously gives as well. That got pointed out, although bluntly, so you 
could be doing your part for others to assist you. Fedora IS a perpetual 
beta test for RHEL, so you do have to keep up or install something more 
stable.

"Freely you have received; freely give." In this case, offer a problem 
that can be resolved, if not by the group, then with a bug report. You 
cannot file a bug report on an EOL install. That is your end of the 
Fedora Linux Community bargain. It's kinda like church in that regard, 
that they have rules within the family so to speak. That's how I see it 
from my perspective. :) Ric

p/s keep up the Good Works
