The problem that I had with the new build system and the resulting link-heavy builds is that I could not rpm -i a different kernel. I was trying to see if the kernel from here ( http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/026909.html ) will fix the camera problem but the new kernel was nowhere to be found, even if rpm reported no problems during installation. Is this because this kernel predates the current build system, by design, or a bug?
It is by design, and it has the side effect of preventing you from easily upgrading your kernel. You have to move the files around manually after you have installed the new kernel.
