Are you using Martyn's RPM or Extras? Just wondering if there is any
difference. In theory, I suppose, given the prior communications with
Tom, there shouldn't be.

Also, was this a clean install of FC6 or an "in place upgrade" of FC5.
Officially, FC does not support the latter and I have seen mixed
comments on the FC lists pertaining to that path and associated issues.
