This may not be what you wanted to hear but I was having loads of problems
keeping my system running under FC3. Devices would just disappear. Lockups
and other problems like ff/rew would crash my frontend. Also could not get
my other services like dovecot and fetchmail to work reliably. I ended up
wiping and reinstalling FC2. Since then the only problem I am having is that
lircd does not want to start from sysinit. That was easily fixed by an entry
in rc.local to reprobe and start lirc before starting the backend. Since
that fix it has run for about a week without problems.
