This is bad news for me. kernel-2.6.25-0.35.rc1.fc9.i686 is the first
working kernel for me that is not 2.6.23 series. I'll stay away from the
newer kernel for awhile.
The whole 2.6.24 series locked up network start because of a wireless
card. The series also failed with /dev/rtc where I had to allow a
timeout or press ctl-c.
Oh well, kernel-2.6.25-0.35.rc1.fc9.i686 is working correctly as far as
I can see.
Also, I did not change anything in the yum.conf for kernel versions
installed. Is the total kernels installed set to the running kernel plus
two previous versions intentionally?
