Ouch.  That's the original F-10 release kernel.  I'd suggest trying the
latest kernel update (you can always go back to the old one if you have
problems):

sudo yum update kernel

which should install kernel-2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10 which has quite a
few fixes and hopefully will work better for you.
