This is a kernel bug.
Comment 2 Christopher Brown 2008-01-14 18:32:29 UTC 
Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can.

There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel?

If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no additional information lodged.
Comment 3 Christopher Brown 2008-02-16 02:45:37 UTC 
Closing as per previous comment. Please re-open if this is still an issue for you.
