2.6.14-1.1637_FC4 has been released as an update for FC4. Please retest with this update, as a large amount of code has been changed in this release, which may have fixed your problem. Thank you.
I'm seeing the same problem. And no, 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4, or *any* normal kernel for that matter, won't help since this is a Xen kernel issue.
This is a mass-update to all currently open kernel bugs. A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.15-1.1830_FC4) based upon a new upstream kernel release. Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that may address this problem. This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO_REPORTER state. Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Dave, *please* don't suggest errata for normal kernels as a response for issues with Xen kernels, I'm begging you...
As teh message said, it was an mass-update, (going through all 500 bugs by hand just isn't feasible). Xen in FC4 has been a bit of a mess. I'm hoping that once we've got it stabilised in FC5 we can backport a working release again.
Just getting this stable in FC5 is a huge ordeal. It's likely to stay broken in FC4 I'm afraid due to lack of resources.
