I'm not expect at compiling programs under Linux (read I just make and pray), but since it's always worked well before we compile the kernels ourselves to be able to immediately update Linux kernels before packages are made.  Unfortunately, it didn't work this time and we would very much appreciate any hints as to why. Here's what we're doing.
What's the difference between -4 and -5, then. If you don't need the
changes then you could also stay with -4.
The first thing I do everytime after installing any distro is to get
vanilla kernel sources and compile those, because you never really know
which ugly patches they put in.

Looks like some of RH's patching went wrong, or they applied a broken
patch. I would revert to -4.

Bye...
