Sorry, my mistake.  Was unaware that official FC sources offered more 
than one version of 2.6.5, 2.6.6 or 2.6.7 (aside from SMP variants, 
which I would have noted).  Yes, 2.6.5-1.358 is the working kernel, 
2.6.6-1 and 2.6.7-1.494 were the nonworking ones.  Sorry if those 
numbers are a bit off on the updated kernels; working from memory at the 
moment.

Thanks also for clearing up how the modules/kernel package relationship 
works in re yum updates.  Now I know I can always boot into something 
older if needed.

Misunderstood you there too, looks like.  Thanks for clearing it up!  I 
will try that instead on the test laptop I'll be bringing in from home.
