Thank you, Jim

I tried that but unfortunately it didn't help. I only removed the kernel
proper (using pirut), not kernel-devel nor kernel-headers packages
(assuming they have little relevance to the problem at hand), and dl'd
the 2.6.22.1-27 kernel again. When installed and rebooted, the problems
persist just like before. 
Maybe it's my hardware but it has worked with every kernel since FC4 as
I told earlier. Guess I'll stick to 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 kernel for now.

Yes, that should be understood by now. Thanks anyway.
