And as a side note, I just pulled a source rpm off rawhide, for kernel

Don't know what that's all about,
Rawhide has switched to using SHA256 instead of MD5 everywhere
including
RPM. Details in the stronger hashes feature at

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/FeatureList

Actually it seems to be signed with a key I don't see, the message is:
  kernel-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.src.rpm: RSA sha1 (MD5) (PGP) md5
NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: PGP#d22e77f2)

I assume it's a key only in the FC11 release, which isn't in older
systems. A problem for another day, I'm content now that I understand
why it fails.

Yes. Every release has a different key.

Interesting, though, I got that key off the web site for the alpha, and
it's in my personal keyring, some time when I want to spend a lot of
time on something I probably won't use I'll figure out where that key
needs to be, since I don't have a usable FC11 machine (both installed
the alpha but when I do the upgrade they hang solid).

Not critical, the newer kernel seems to use my display no better than
the old.


The key does not go in your personal keyring. It goes in rpm's keyring.

rpm --import </path_of/name_of_key>


That gets me back to the original problem I mentioned in
  news://news.gmane.org:119/gqdcg6$7ss$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

root> rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.29-0.258.rc8.git2.fc11.src.rpm
   1:kernel                 warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
########################################### [100%]
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/Makefile.config;49cb892e: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

Interesting that I was getting this message before I got the "unknown key" message which I "fixed" wit the rpm import. In any case, the problem returned to what I initially reported, but it still doesn't work.

I'll wait for the FC11 beta next month.
