(In reply to comment #1) > I've fixed this in rawhide, I'll be backporting a fix in the next week or so. -------- I have downloaded Rawhide on Oct 9, 2008. I have this error coming up on my install as well. How can I get the new kernel or whatever, not through updates as they are not working. Would like to do further tests. Thanks... robertdaleweir
