I've only built 2.6 kernels on this machine, and that was awhile ago. 
They are removed right now and I'm not running them. I have been using 
the UFAQ yum.conf all along.

rpm -qa | grep kernel :

kernel-utils-2.4-9.1.101.fedora
kernel-2.4.22-1.2135.nptl
kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl

uname -a :
Linux xxxxxx 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl #1 Wed Jan 7 12:57:33 EST 2004 i686 
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

rpm -qa | grep xmms :
xmms-1.2.8-3.p

yum install xmms-mp3 :
...
Resolving dependencies
....identical dependency loop exceeded
package xmms-mp3 needs xmms = 1:1.2.9 (not provided)

I'm guessing either the yum.conf posted at the UFAQ is incomplete or the 
livna repository is broken.

Thanks,
John
