Hi all!

Just FYI: livna kmods for the recently released 2.6.23.1-49.fc8 are
uploading to the livna repos right now (sorry, I was afk earlier today
and made a error, that's why they are a bit late) and should be
available in some minutes.

Note that F8 users with kmods *might run* into problems when updating to
the latest version kmods due to a problem in yum in F8 which is likely
unfixed yet. See  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330711
for details. The problem might look like this:

$ sudo yum update

If you run into this problem you can uninstall the kernel-modules for
the current kernel with this command :

rpm -e $(rpm -qa 'kmod-*2.6.23*')

as workaround and then run yum update; you should get the new kernel and
the new kmods for it when running "yum update" afterwards.
