The 2.6.13 version of the kernel is now available from http://www.kernel.org as well as the usual mirrors. Anyone have any thoughts as to plans by Fedora to move FC4 to the 2.6.13 kernel?
I'm normally not a "new kernel junkie" but PCMCIA support gets significant fixes in 2.6.13. It would be nice to have an FC4 official 2.6.13 kernel that fixes PCMCIA on my HP Pavilion laptop running FC4/x86_64. The "roll your own" alternative is downloading as I type this.
Cheers, Dave

There are also some clean ups with v4l and the tv tuner stuff.....

If you want to get new kernels sooner than they are released for FC4 then you could try rawhide kernels. You will need to install the rawhide version of mkinitrd and maybe some other packages, but that shouldn't be difficult to manage.

Dave has posted on the fedora-list (dunno when; can't find it now) that 2.6.13 will be backported to FC4 (and maybe even FC3)
Hi,

I would imagine that as soon as it is completely stable in the rawhide branch (which given this is the tester list, you'll already be using), it will also be released for FC4.
