Try grabbing the prepatched kernel off the ftp site
(ftp://ftp.fsmlabs.com/pub/rtlinux/v3/rtlinux_kernel_2_3.tar.gz) or better
yet, get the RPM with precompiled kernel and modules
(ftp://ftp.fsmlabs.com/pub/rtlinux/v3/rtlinux-3.0-pre8.alpha.rpm).
We are sticking with test1 for the 2.4.0 series of kernels because it
is the most stable of the testX series (even though they are _supposed_ to be
getting more stable with each new test release).
