I'm not really surprised there are problems. If you want continuing
support for linux, CentOS5 would be a better bet than Fedora. While IBM
doesn't test that either, it us intended to be fully compatible with
RHEL5 and so about as compatible with FC6 as RHEL5 is.
Your prospects of _fixing_ it on F8 are fairly dismal, unless you can
point to a problem in F8 itself.
