Comment 1 Warren Togami 2004-09-12 19:54:44 UTC

Most likely this is a duplicate of Bug #128154 which is solved by
newer kernels.  Please install the latest FC2 kernel (521) or latest
rawhide kernel, both of which should solve this problem.  Please
report back.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 04:48:22 UTC

Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
