Thanks. Hi Tom, I am working on a similar thing. What I have done is taken the FC5 kernel SRPM and ported the changes from the one from Endian developer SRPMS (based on FC3). You will need to grab patch-o-matic from SVN and update a few things but all will build and boot OK. If you like I can send you the updated SRPM I have built (based on 2122). Take care, Gawain
