Ummm, well the kernel is rather highly patched with new features unless you grab kernel-linus. Supermount is there, and the stubs for lm_sensors, and quite a few things that might not be in the kernel.org package. It is not as extreme as when 7.2 was out and the Mandrake kernel supported udma3 and udma4 and udma5 while the kernel-linus did not. Gee, even Reiserfs required kernel patches. Civileme
