Hmmm, sounds like a timer problem in the new kernel. See what kernels
are available (yum list kernel-rt) and try an older one just to see what
happens. 

You could try booting with some options like "nohz=off" or
"acpi=off" (edit that into the kernel line in grub while booting). 

Sorry you are finding problems...
(in a hurry right now so can't look at the details)

You could also manually download and install the old fc6 kernel you were
using to see if that fixes the problem.
