When I use the kernels supplied with FC2, my Tyan 2665 dual Xeon M/B is 
fine with the single processor kernel. However, with the SMP kernel it 
locks hard as soon as I open a port on a TE410P or E400P cards. I tried 
both the original SMP kernel, and the later FC2 updates, all with the 
same effect. When I replaced the kernel with the stock 2.6.8rc2 kernel 
these problems went away. I have had no further trouble. I have no idea 
what is wrong with the FC2 kernels (or perhaps is just incompatible with 
zaptel). I actually used the .config file from FC2 to build the stock 
kernel, so this isn't some strange select in the kernel configuration. I 
guess on the Fedora private patches have some unfortunate side effect.

The bottom line seems to be that most reports of trouble with * and 
Linux 2.6 stem from the use of the FC2 kernels.
