not sure if this is related, but I am having trouble with all the newer
FC4 kernels as well, and I have seen other posts that might be related.
Is your machine SATA or SCSI? I think they split/changed certain
scsi/sata drivers. From what I have seen an adjustment to modprobe.conf
would fix it ... but not sure I have not found a fix for my situation
either. Let me know what you find.
