[PlanetCCRMA] help with planetccrma FC5 install

[Martin Dupras]

Thanks Nigel. Unfortunately, I did all those things. Unfortunately, not much
luck. I double checked and I have the right sources for the kernel, and I
have the correct yum.conf that allows older kernels. I have also
double-checked that I don't have extra kernel sources.

I'm at a bit of a loss, really. Am now wondering if it would not be worth
installing the default FC5 kernel and recompile from source with the low
latency patches.
