UP version of 2.6.16-1.2069 seems stable (up for weeks). Have not tested stock (kernel.org) kernel nor an additonal FC updated kernel.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) 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.
