OK, after some reading on the Fedora list and the Fedora-dev list I
understand many users have problems with the 2.6.24 kernel. Some of
the developers think it shouldn't have been released:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-March/msg00419.html

Anyway, if it works for you, it according to some "fixes more than it
breaks", if it doesn't work for you, you're better off sticking with
the 2.6.23. Please note, this is not my opinion, it's a summary of
what I've read on the other lists...

Thanks for all the great work with PlanetCCRMA!

best,

Henrik
