Joe,

I have numerous problems with the 2.6.11 kernel in Fedora Core 3.

I left it installed but boot to 2.6.9. You can make the earlier kernel
the default by editing /boot/grub/grub.conf or use the bootloader option
in gnome. You may have to install it.

I have not seen any posts discussing fixes to various problems in
2.6.11. Wish I have.
