2.6.15rc kernel packages for FC4.

[Fabio Comolli]

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.
