I didn't realize there was a kernel 3.0 yet; since it appears to be a
direct continuation of the 2.6 series, I suspect it won't be difficult
to support.  Thanks for the patch - I will add it to the installers,
with the caveat that we won't actually be testing Phenix on kernel 3
until whenever Fedora 16 comes out.
