[K12OSN] K12ltsp V 4.1.1 & new(er) kernels problem

[ddaniels at magic.fr]

I have had similar problems with earlier kernels in FC3. Various kernel 
panics rendered my dual Xeon dumb to the OS. I backed out to FC2 and 
then reinstalled FC3 and use the latest kernel, since a week ago. No 
problems since.

best of luck!
