Had recently done a dnf update, and noticed that it included the upgrade to 
that version, so that is why I tried it, but it failed with the error message I 
mentioned. Then downloaded the git clone, and compiled it, but it also failed.

Thanks. It has always just worked in the past from the official kernel.org 
downloads up to the latest 6.03. Just thought that since Fedora 30 was 
including the 6.04 that it would work??

Thanks. Just went back to the 6.03 version, and it works fine, just looking to 
see if maybe the newer version would add some additonal support.

Thanks.
