I must agree, I have applied several updates to my system including the latest
kernel from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/i386/

and I have no real issues, execpt for cdrom, but I changed the driver to
ide-scsi and update udev the system is as stable as one could wish for.
and I must say I am testing 33 systems right now for our company.

Maybe post the exact problems and we could probably have already fixed them
simply.

Good Luck
