fixed in latest errata kernel ?
Tested with latest kernel (2.6.9-1.6_FC2) and 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 and 2.6.8-1.521. Now all of those works ok in this situation. The case was tested with a few other people (and with Debian using 2.6.8 kernel) and they had same problem. Wonder what might have caused it...
