Ditto!

One quick note:

After getting up and running with the new kernel, I have a SEGFAULT with
gkrellm when trying to load the i8k monitor for CPU temp and fans:

   gkrellm segmentation fault: Dell I8K Plugin (create_monitor)

This ran fine under the .12 kernels.

For the time being, I disabled this and grkrellm works fine otherwise.

lsmod shows the i8k module loaded and I have the latest version of
i8kutils installed:

  i8kutils-1.25-4.fc4

Will i8kutils need to be recompiled for the .14 series kernels or is
this a transient thing with a testing kernel?

HTH,
