I think you should report it to kernel developers or zoran (kernel)
driver maintainers. However don't think there is lot of help you can get
with your kernel. You should try upgrading to centos 5.3 for a start,
still, not sure if kernel developers will take your report (kernel too
old), and since it isn't Redhat, you won't get too much attention from
redhat developers too. Still, try reporting it both to kernel and redhat
bugzilla (after upgrading to 5.3 and 2.6.18-128.1.6, that is).
