That's odd, it worked fine for me a couple of weeks ago.

I habitually make a copy of the Fedora patched sources in /usr/src and 
work there (because I also update the ibm_acpi from the included 0.8 to 
0.10 and pare the config to only provide for the hardware I actually 
have, etc.). I can't see why "apply"ing in the rpm build tree would be 
any different from "apply"ing in an exact clone in /usr/src/.

BUT, even presuming that they apply cleanly (in the rpm build tree), the 
problem then would be that you would have a new 
kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3.i686.rpm that would *NOT* be a *Fedora* * Core* 
kernel-2.6.10-1.760_FC3.i686.rpm.

IMHO, better to follow the http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/fedora/ 
instructions _exactly_ and just build & install a custom kernel from 
/usr/src/ w/o mixing it up with the rpm packages. As Warren points out, 
Extras is not the right place to be introducing patched versions of the 
Core kernels.

In any case, for 2.6.10-1.760_FC3, you need the two new patches which 
should be appearing at http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/fedora/ RSN. 
Let me know out of band, Kevin, if you're brave/foolish enough to want 
them directly w/o before they've been vetted by someone other than me.
