Will RPM be working anytime soon in kernel-2.6.0-test
series?
In my opinion this question needs to be addressed
since two main distro's use RPM and for those who are
spending their time testing I would think its worth an answer.

Hopefully. Try an RPM test release.

Well, its an RPM bug. Take it up with them.

Define working? Are you running redhat 9.0? If so that's redhat's
fault. Try "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 <whatever the rpm command is>"

Redhat seems to be able to create rpms.

Ronald,
Make rpm works fine in 2.6.0-test2, as for them putting a RPM up for you
to install from it is not likely to happen.
You can always visit your distro provider to get a copy of what they
_may_ have if any.
Most people that test are very comfortable with configuring their own
from the kernel sources.
Cheers,
Dave

RedHat Rawhide works for me. The guys at RedHat are aware of the issue, and will
certainly have a working RPM by the time they ship a 2.6 kernel in a release (RH 9.2 at
the earliest, I'm guessing, as it looks like 9.1 is going to be shipping the customary
RedHat mutation of 2.4.20-ac<mumble>)
