Haven't tried running it yet, but after meeting all of the dependenies to install the test kernel, I got the following messages upon installing the kernel itself: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.0-0.test1.1.24.i686.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:kernel ########################################### [100%] WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.ko needs unknown symbol matroxfb_enable_irq WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/divacapi.ko needs unknown symbol application WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/divacapi.ko needs unknown symbol adapter WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/divacapi.ko needs unknown symbol MapController WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/isdn/hardware/eicon/divacapi.ko needs unknown symbol max_adapter WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/char/generic_serial.ko needs unknown symbol cli WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/char/generic_serial.ko needs unknown symbol restore_flags WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/char/generic_serial.ko needs unknown symbol save_flags WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/char/generic_serial.ko needs unknown symbol sti WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.0-0.test1.1.24/kernel/drivers/char/agp/nvidia-agp.ko needs unknown symbol agp_memory_reserved Based on what's showing up here, could this have something to do with the errors people are seeing with USB, video (AGP), and certain serial devices? I'll have moretime to play with this later tonight (hopefully).
