I'm puzzled why you upgraded from one end-of-life'd distro to

can't just shut it down completely to reinstall or better yet swap it

upgraded with a 2.6 fedora RPM and found the 'nearest' at fedora

Essentialy I'd like to find some confirmation/pointer regarding 1) if
the bug really affects my chipset 2) if 2.6.10 still has the fix, it
should have it of course, but...
