Re: compile failed on FC5T2 kernel

Hi,

most kernels used on the test versions of Fedora Core 5 are patched with 
experimental code in the kernel and one of these changes is not 
compatible with DriverLoader at the moment. The last issue mentioned is 
not trivial to be fixed, unlike the other issues mentioned before.

If this experimental code is added to the final Fedora Core 5 release, 
we will add support for it in DriverLoader. In the meantime, please try 
to use a vanilla 2.6.15.x kernel form http://www.kernel.org.
