I was rather surprised that Alan did not mention ELRepo's kernel-ml. :-O kernel-ml-2.6.35 does have the patch referenced here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/19/609 I should also note that kernel-ml is not for production use but it's been quite stable and Alan has been doing a good job of keeping it up to date. :-) http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml Akemi
