i586 Kernel 2.6 Hangs

[J.T. Moore]

Anyone else out there having problems with the 2.6 kernel on an i586? The 
problem i run into is that my system will hang after having been in use for 
several minutes when running the 2.6 kernel. I've run into this problem with 
the 2.6 kernels for FC2, kernels from source (kernel.org), and most recently 
the FC3 cd install/upgrade (I was able to upgrade although I had to manually 
freshen the rpms,resolve the depencies, and force udev to install since 
other stuff requires it and it requires the 2.6 kernel.

My system is pretty antiqutaed but it runs flawlessly on the 2.4 kernel 
(currently 2.4.26 custom):
