Hi Albert,

Do you know if this patch has been put into the mainline kernel? I got 
this problem when trying
to boot the Fedora Core 7 RC3 livecd - so I really can't make a new 
kernel and test it. Also it takes
over an hour to build the kernel on my laptop, that is why I just use 
distributed kernels on it.
