Thanks Arjan, I had to install a few other programs from rawhide also. The programs that I upgraded were the programs below. This sure beats trying to experiment with the 2.5 kernel from complete source code. i'll try the binary first, then maybe building from your src rpm. All finally installed and I'm ready to experiment with the test kernel.
