I had the problem first with synaptic. Then I tried apt-get dist-upgrade 
and got the same problem. I went back to synaptic and unselected the
2.6.16-1.2080.13.rdt kernels and alsa modules, as well as the 
2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernel. The rest installed fine and the edge kernel 
seems to work.

After booting into the new edge kernel, in synaptic, I just added the 
planetccrma-core-smp package which installs the 2080.13.rdt kernels, and 
it installed with no problems. Then I added the 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4 kernels 
again with no problems. So I'm pretty baffled as to what happened the 
first time, but it seems like my particular set of steps is at least one 
solution. I should note that I hadn't done a dist-upgrade on that machine 
in more than 2 months.

cheers,
Michael.
