Recent new updates to Fedora 2 kernel

I've been having rather bad luck with the recent new updates to the
Fedora 2 kernel, downloaded automatically via up2date.

Running a very standard Dell Dimension 2400 off-the-shelf, with a Dell
wireless keyboard/mouse.

2.6.9-1.6_FC2 - is the last release that works as I remember it!

Releases up to 2.6.9-1.11_FC2 hang the system during boot.

The 2.6.9-1.11_FC2 does boot, but kudzu fails to recognize the wireless
keyboard/mouse and deletes it from the hardware configuration.  Oddly,
the keyboard works anyway, but not the mouse.

2.6.10-1.8_FC2 and 2.6.10-1.9_FC2 do recognize the wireless
keyboard/mouse.  They also claim to recognize the sound card, which is
an Intel 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Audio Controller (Module: snd-intel8x0). 
However, no sounds are actually heard.

Many thanks!
David
