Plz don't mistake me for a kernel expert but... I was in the process of
doing an rpm upgrade to the kernel of my 5.0 system and I learned a
thing or two.  I am told by someone who is a kernel expert that
2.0.34-0.6 is a prerelease of the 2.0.34 kernel and has stability
problems.  Then I was asked, "Why are you using it, since the final
version of 2.0.34 is in release?!"  Good question, eh?  You might want
to upgrade.
