This is bad news for me. kernel-2.6.25-0.35.rc1.fc9.i686 is the first 
working kernel for me that is not 2.6.23 series. I'll stay away from the 
newer kernel for awhile.
The whole 2.6.24 series locked up network start because of a wireless 
card. The series also failed with /dev/rtc where I had to allow a 
timeout or press ctl-c.

Oh well, kernel-2.6.25-0.35.rc1.fc9.i686 is working correctly as far as 
I can see.

Also, I did not change anything in the yum.conf for kernel versions 
installed. Is the total kernels installed set to the running kernel plus 
two previous versions intentionally?
