I stumbled upon his repository and decided to try out his latest kernel to see if it would solve what I thought was a software issue. Either way things compiled fine after I made a few changes to my config (for some reason disk dump support did not want to compile). Right not I'm using a the .29 FC3 kernel with a modified config. Works great with no issues. I think the repository is great for people who want to live dangerously. *grin* Cheers, Nathaniel Husted
