Not in the main article, but in the first comment: 

   RPM and 2.6.0 kernels

   There is a known issue with the 2.6 kernels and RPM (its actually a
   db3 issue I think). Fetch rpm-4.2.1 from rpm.org and your problems
   will be solved.

Found with a google search of 

http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+kernel+2.6+test+rpm+bugs
...and a lucky guess of which title to read first.
