That gets me back to the original problem I mentioned in
   news://news.gmane.org:119/gqdcg6$7ss$1@ger.gmane.org

root> rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.src.rpm
    1:kernel                 warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file 
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Makefile.config;49cb892e: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

Interesting that I was getting this message before I got the "unknown key" 
message which I "fixed" wit the rpm import. In any case, the problem returned to 
what I initially reported, but it still doesn't work.

I'll wait for the FC11 beta next month.
