I have just compiled 2.6.22-rc2 with the configuration file given in my
previous post and the resulting kernel successfully boots on the machine
concerned. Whatever broke LVM for this machine in between 2.6.18 and
2.6.21.1 has now been fixed.
I haven't had any problem booting with any of the kernels, but when I
try to build a kernel with a Fedora config from /boot, it builds fine
but doesn't boot after install. I started by building a very basic
kernel for testing, and then started adding features to get everything I
need. But just using the latest FC6 config file gets me a kernel which
fails in just the way you mention.
There is still a problem with the CDROM but I will follow up in another
thread about that.
Happy to say I don't see that, I'm using PATA optical devices, and USB
on some machines, both work. I can't get scanning to work even after
buying a "supported" scanner, so I may have to go back to Slackware and
a 2.4 kernel on one machine, but boot and run does fine.
