Someone much wiser than me said that FC6 was set to use kernel 2.6.17. Afaik, this is still the case. I personally would love to see it ship with 2.6.19 when that arrives so I can have my module in the default distro! I doubt that's going to happen for a while though :P --Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9017 0597 - 0412 935 897 --fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com To unsubscribe:https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list

If that the case, I wonder if it's possible to get gregkh's full patch put into the Fedora kernel.... would certainly make my life much easier :P

Doesn't look like (for whatever reason) 2.6.18-rc5 had his patches in it

as there's still the updated USB core stuff as well as i2c/PCI fixes that haven't been migrated into the kernel yet at: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/ gregkh-all-2.6.18-rc5.patch It's about a 1.1Mb patch, mainly geared towards fixing a number of USB issues as well as a few more drivers (including the adutux drive that I require).

Any idea when the next kernel will be released for FC5? I'm assuming it's 2.6.18, and RC-5 was released yesterday. ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************
