Andserson, Looks like the fix it to upgrade from the stock kernel in FC6. I tried an update using 'Yum update kernel' but nothing is found in the default repositories yet I suppose. I'm going to see if I find another repository that has a kernel update rpm package. Would you happen to know of any or another simple method to upgrade? I surely don't want to bother with updating the kernel from source, plus I'm doing this remotely. In the past Yum based kernel updates have gone well for me.
If I can't figure it out, I will have to travel to the server, and install Fedora 7 which with the new kernel supposedly fixes this issue. Thanks for all your help diagnosing this issue.
