Do you see the same behavior if you use the stock Wolverine kernel? We haven't seen reports of wolverine-only code not working...
RESOLVED! Core of problem was corrupted HW component. After replacing its working fine with both original and recompiled kernels. Thanks for help pk
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs. Closing as "not a bug" for now.
