I was expecting it to happen. I think at the time, the current kernel was 2.6.15.2 or thereabouts. However, I haven't upgraded any software that's in the distro packages beyond what up2date provides, so: $ rpm -qa | grep hal hal-0.4.2-4.EL4 So sorry about that, I didn't mean to take up any of your time. I only mentioned it incidentally and wasn't expecting it to be addressed. (I was more happily stating that nothing of significance to me is broken in the distro). If that was something I needed, I would have looked into upgrading it.
