Is there some deeper significance in a version numbering for the current kernel from rawhide? The previous one was 2.6.9-1.667 and the one which showed up recently, with a build date "Mon 15 Nov 2004 05:58:14 PM MST" is 2.6.9-1.650_devel. Of course yum will not pick it up as already a "newer" one is quite likely installed; even if its build date is "Tue 02 Nov 2004 01:24:30 PM MST". Even 'rpm' has to be gently persuaded before it will stoop to installing something so "older". My guess is that this will quite likely limit an exposure of this kernel to testers. Michal
