	Wow...  I'm not sure I would even expect that to work.  I might expect
older applications and distros to run on newer kernels (they do strive
for that direction of backward compatibility) but Fedora 10 is going to
have the latest apps built for and trying to take advantage of the
latest kernel features.  I would expect them to get really upset if they
were stuck on a cranky kernel that's 9 revs back (RHEL 5 == 2.6.18,
Fedora 10 == 2.6.27).  That's one of the reasons I'm running the latest
2.6.26 ovz kernels on all my virtualization engines.  I've had no
stability problems and it runs all the old images just fine for me.

	Try them again on 2.6.26-bulgakov.1 and see if they don't run one heck
of a lot better.
