Hi all
I have fedora 8 installed, and I want to use Linux kernel
2.6.24.7 from www.kernel.org <http://www.kernel.org>
<http://www.kernel.org>, instead of 2.6.26.6-49.fc8 (I just
need it). But after I install it and try to reboot, the system
gives me errors about mounting somethings and a BIOS error.
Plz help.
Thanks
Two questions,
why you want to use the older kernel
and is there some big reason to stay in unsupported F8?
Anyway you should also post the errors if you want more help. As
there could be quite many things that can go wrong.

Could be that you have problems with your initrd-image. Have you created it?
Also check that you have all the filesystem related things in kernel you
need like lvm, ext3, etc. compiled correctly. As the error sounds like
it can't find either the initrd-image and/or root filesystem.
If nothing else helps you could download the Fedora kernel source
package and fix it so that it uses the kernel patches of ChronOS (Will
probably need quite much tinkering).
In any case you should ask the people maintaining that ChronOS that
which distribution they use and use that. It will save you with lot of
headaches in future. These scientific projects can be really picky on
which platform they run in addition to kernel version.

PS. Don't top post. It's quite rude to do so in this list.
