Tech support at the datacenter just gave me this little gem: "kernel-2.6.20 is known to be unstable woth fedora core 5 . we recommend you use kernel-2.6.19 kernel-2.6.18 for fedora core 5." Anyone else able to confirm this and recommend the best way to resolve it?

Now confident, I did it on my remote server. On reboot, the machine stayed up for about 30 seconds and then locked up. The techs at the datacenter ended up having to change the kernel it booted into to the old FC4 kernel. I'm not sure what is causing this, just now I did "rpm -qa --last > /tmp/RPMS_by_Install_Time.txt" and removed most of the packages that had an install date previous to the FC5 install. There were a couple of packages like splunk (which I never use), httpd-debug (not sure if this might be conflicting with the new apache), and mysql-debug (again, not sure if it was conflicting with the new mysql) - I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that I'll be able to do a successful reboot this weekend. Then it's off to updating to FC6 ... and then 7 ...
