I am trying to build a driver (yet again) for my Highpoint RAID card. This is apparently required for eadch kernel update.
I hacked the drive source to remove a reference to scsi_device_cancel() which has apparently been removed. All went well, until I tried to boot the kernel. Then, there was a version mis-match.
For some reason, the kernel source rpm for 2.6.23.8-34.fc7 claims a version of 2.6.23.9-rc1. What the?!?
Can someone explain to me why this is so? There is no kernel 2.6.23.9-rc1 (that I can find). I am not seeking an experimental kernel, and only build this driver because I must.
Is there somewhere where I can download the kernel cource that matches the current release? Really, I just want to 'slip in' the necessary driver and keep my system as unhacked as possible.
Thanks in advance,

P.S. Be gentle, this is my first post...
rc1 is the release candidate of the kernel..Kernel sources can be
downloaded from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/source/SRPMS/
or through yum you cna do like this for downloading the source kernel
rpm into your Home directory
sudo <http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-f7.html#sudo> yum install yum-utils
sudo yumdownloader --source kernel
After that use the rpm command to install it
