Get back to the basics. What did you upgrade? Did you apply some updates 
to a FC6 machine? Of did you upgrade from say FC4 to FC6?

In the first case you should not have an issue. Even if FC6 will be out of 
updates soon.

Anyone running production on Fedora is in for upgrades head aches well 
before the end of the normal lifespan of that hardware. Been there, done 
that, and still got the scars.

That is why I run machines with CentOS 4 or CentOS 5. Updates are there 
for years to come and if you know Fedora then you know Centos. They are 
pretty much 2 twigs of the same branch.

To be honest. Running production level machines on Fedora is not worth the 
problems you get down the road.
