Hi Dave.
Booting this kernel prevents X to start on my laptop.
It looks that /sys/class/input does not contain all the entries needed
(the laptop is an ancient HP Omnibook equipped with a synaptics
touchpad).
I I normally use a custom 2.6.15-rc5 kernel, with evdev compiled as
module. That module is loaded _after_ udev has started and this way
everithing works. Your kernel as evdev statically linked.
I know that to use a 2.6.15-rcx kernel you are supposed to upgrade udev
(mine is udev-058-1.0.FC4.1) but you said that this kernel was intended
to be used with FC4 and not with rawhide, so I assumed that it had to
work with 0.58.
Please let me know if you need more test/details.
To try and get a jump-start on testing 2.6.15, I've prepared
packages for FC4 based on the current rawhide kernel.
These are likely to change almost daily, and there's no
guarantee how much longer 2.6.15 is going to be in -rc stage,
so I'm going to hold off pushing these out as an official
updates-testing release until a final 2.6.15 has been released.
(Should a security errata be needed before then, I'll push out another
2.6.14 based release)

Please file bugs in bugzilla, rather than emailing me/this list about them.
