Damn, Axel beat me to it. Yeah, Chuck pushed a 2.6.20 kernel yesterday. For 
FC6, its kernel 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6.

For the record, I believe that was an upstream boo-boo, not RH's. :D It was 
the saa7127 that was missing, right? If my recollection is correct, 2.6.20 
should have remedied this:

CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5246A=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5249=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA6588=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7127=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134_ALSA=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134_DVB=m

I *think* it did, but I'm not positive. It may have missed 2.6.20 though. 
Definitely will be in 2.6.21, but that doesn't help right now...
