It could be the VIA chipset, but I'm not sure. One rule with the Linux
kernel is you should (almost) always be running the most recent kernel
before reporting a bug. This saves a lot of effort in tracking down
bugs that have alreay been fixed.

It may be that Red Hat has already released a new kernel RPM since that
time, or maybe you need to compile a new kernel.

Cheers, Andreas
