2111 is not in updates or updates-testing.
2096 in updates is not new.

sure, davej does not need the fedora-test-list.

It took all day to get it fixed up & built, but I think the
2111 kernel at http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC5
should fix all the nasty problems with networking that people
saw with the 2107 kernel.

If this survives overnight testing, it goes out tomorrow.

sure, it is better to publish it directly in updates.
a really good decision, the result ...

Greetings,

I just installed FC5 a couple of days ago on my wife's computer (clean 
install from FC3). Today I updated the kernel to 2.6.16-1.2107_FC5.i686 
and now the box won't boot. When I do a hard reboot and select the 
original kernel, it's just fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

... a really good decision.
