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.
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.
