Those drivers are verified on a kernel by kernel basis.

HP doesn't even bother to certify them all, just major stable kernel releases.

It could be weeks, could be months. It might not be at all, but that seems unlikely.

Even if a kernel breaks the driver ?

Anyway, I just had to install kernel-source-2.4.20-24.7.i386.rpm and life is good.

*nod* yup.

the HPASM RPM's are nice enough to re-compile off the kernel source if the current kernel doesn't already have existing compiled modules.

You just have to remember to update the kernel source when updating the kernel in future.
One long-haired git at your service...
