When I try to install it from ATRPMs it drags in kernel-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at. I'm using kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3. Is there/will there be a version for this kernel version? Or am I somehow using a kernel version that I'm not supposed to be? If you don't tell apt/yum what to get it will choose any kernel it likes (aka random).

I could ssh in and kill X, which brought the machine back, but that's really not acceptable. It would do this in two situations: whenever I tried to watch video, and whenever I tried to bring up a text display with ctrl-alt-1. I reverted to 6629 and everything is stable again shame though.
