Ever since the last two kernels on Fedora 16 my gam_server goes to
disk sleep. When that happens I can't use dolphin or any kde file
dialogs. This doesn't happen with the 3.3 kernel. Also, when this
happens I cannot su to root or reboot cleanly. The system gets stuck
near the end of the shut off process. I looked through the archives,
but there's nothing there about gam_server for the past 4 years. What
might be going on? selinux?

You could be seeing this bug in gamin that causes deadlocks that mimick your
symptoms, unfortunately, it was only fixed in f17+ so far,

If you kill the gam_server process, do things start working better?
