This patch didn't work for me. Why, I don't know. I'm x86, and you're x64. Perhaps that's a difference.

For reference, my kernel is: 2.6.31-0.17.rc0.git15.fc12.i686.PAE

Here's my patch that works for me. If you pay close attention, you'll see I've just removed the change in the original patch that was done to os-agp.c. Perhaps this change only happens with a newer version of the kernel. But yum update hasn't pulled it in yet.

Oh well, this works for me... YMMV

I tested it on git18 for x86 & x86_64 .


P.S yum hasn't worked here for a couple of days since they incorrectly rsync'ed the x86_64 repo.

Just pulled down the later kernel (git18) from yum. As you said, this does require the full patch.
