Are beginning to come out of the oven, I’ve finally got the build farm back online and after a few script tweaks xbmc-9.04alpha1 for Fedora 10 i386 has rolled out cleanly and the rest are on the way.

There is a issue where the Fedora Kernel does not load the USBHID drivers as a module but rather as always enabled in the kernel. Because of this you cannot blacklist it and allow USB device pass through to VMWare guests. To allow for this you must rebuild the kernel with the CONFIG_USB_HID=y parameter in the kernel config changed to CONFIG_USB_HID=m
enjoy.
I’ve sorted the issues with building XBMC on F8/9/10 and am working once again on CentOS.
