2.6.23.8-34.fc7 source is 2.6.23.9-rc1

[Craig Campbell (craig)]

I am trying to build a driver (yet again) for my Highpoint RAID card.  This is apparently required for eadch kernel update.

I hacked the drive source to remove a reference to scsi_device_cancel() which has apparently been removed.  All went well, until I tried to boot the kernel.  Then, there was a version mis-match.

For some reason, the kernel source rpm for 2.6.23.8-34.fc7 claims a version of 2.6.23.9-rc1.  What the?!?

Can someone explain to me why this is so?  There is no kernel 2.6.23.9-rc1 (that I can find).  I am not seeking an experimental kernel, and only build this driver because I must.

Is there somewhere where I can download the kernel cource that matches the current release?  Really, I just want to 'slip in' the necessary driver and keep my system as unhacked as possible.

Thanks in advance,
-craig

P.S.  Be gentle, this is my first post...
