Sorry, but why when up to release of FC2 test 1 I could get ANY kernel 
2.4.24 etc working
with libata and the release totally bomb. That's progress? What your 
saying is that for final
release of FC, no one with a working 2.4 kernel will be doing libata?

I've built many 2.6 custom kernels since FC1 and they all had module 
support for this
Promise controller off originally. Why was it such a big deal to turn 
module support on
for it anyway. Point, click, done. grief

Go figure.
