Next release of AlphaCore? JUST DO IT

[Michael Kronsteiner]

I can only ACK this, as the reddhat kernels are usually highly patched
(2.6.9-1.667 where everything after 2.6.9 is a redhat thing... hmmmm...
2.6.9 is ok but build (? or patchlevel) 1667 is a little much...

btw this is from fc3 on an wintel, but even patchlevel 1.667 seems high even
if rh is contributing to the kernel...
