Hi Phil,

Just to report that i've installed rhel6beta on my Vaio (and already 
discussed the need with Alan for a sk98lin kmod for el6beta .. ;-) ) and 
that i've just tested the kmod-hellop package.
Unfortunately, even if the kmod itself installs just fine, it leads to a 
kernel panic on each suspend try.
Removing the kmod-hellop package fixes the issue though. I had no time 
to investigate but i'll try to provide more info later.
