I think it is this new kernel, 2.6.18-194.3.1, but I did not try an older
kernel yet. Anyway, I just use rhel5 as a desktop for testing the buildings.

Since rhel5 rpm is no longer compatible with Fedora's, I cannot just use
mock to build the packages. I need at least to recreate the .src.rpm on a
real rhel5, but it is getting very difficult to support it. I could not find
any libxcb/xcb-utils for rhel5 to make vlc 1.1.0 build there, for instance
