It is nice not to have to override shortcomings from test kernels post kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 until kernel-2.6.10-1.1056_FC4. I now can shutdown the computer normally and do not have the shutdown from GUI lockup that the -715 kernel version suffered.
Thanks for the resulting improvements.
On personal input, I think that this kernel and needed newer versioned packages might be moved to test. The kernel should probably be introduced into FC3 also, at least in testing.

In time, it will. Right now isn't the time however, as there are a number of things in 2.6.10 that weren't fixed. A 2.6.10-ac update for FC3 is feasable though.
I think I've finally nailed the 'machine oopses on logout' problem with the FC3 update kernels today. I'm trying to get that built right now. If that works out, it'll be the final 2.6.9 kernel for FC3, and I'll get a 2.6.10 update into testing shortly afterwards.

It's great to not have to worry about flashing CAPS indicators with the newer kernels during logout.
I tested the devel kernel version in runlevel 3 and 5 and even with rhgb active. No oopses were experienced. Previously, I had a random lockup with even the 2.6.9-1.681 kernel, but it was only occasionally occurring. I still have to test for duration of running without a lockup condition.
A 2.6.9 kernel for FC3 with included fixes would be a welcomed addition for FC3. A 2.6.10 kernel for testing would also be great.
Thanks!

Big thanks for the fast usage of the 2.6.10 kernel in development from me too. A Wifi USB device here that previously required a kernel patch to get it to take a USB address on insertion now "just works" thanks to the USB changes in 2.6.10. That was very pleasant to see!
