Many Fedora users are anxiously waiting for the Fedora Core 5 release, scheduled for Monday, March 20. Be warned that some of you may have to wait a little longer, however: the kernel shipped with FC5 effectively disallows the loading of any non-GPL modules. That behavior was a mistake, and a fix has already been made, but it is too late to get that fix into the initial FC5 release. So binary module users will want to wait until the first errata kernel is released (a few days, at most) before upgrading. Update: Elsewhere, an interview with Greg DeKoenigsberg who presently serves as Red Hat's Community Relations Manager and is on the Fedora Extras Steering Committee.

Fedora core release 5 will rock, I can't wait to install the final release, and this minor annoyance will be easily fixed via yum.
It reminds me somewhat of what happened in Fedora core release 2 with the 8k stack affecting nvidia drivers,
that was fixed very quickly too - http://linux-noob.com/review/fedora/fcrh/#fcr2
cheers
