I tried to install the 2.6 kernel according to the instructions in the following post: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-December/msg04465.html I am using the 2.6.0-1.21 kernel from http://people.redhat.com/davej/FedoraCore2/ The RPM would not install properly since mkinitrd failed on the ncr53c8xx module. I removed the ncr53c8xx line from /etc/modules.conf and the RPM installed. I am using the ncr53c810 card just for a CR-ROM and a ZIP-drive, so it is no big deal if those wouldn't work. However, when I boot the new kernel, it quickly panics. Here is the output (written with a pen on paper, so there might be some typos): ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKE] (IRQs 3 4 *5 6 7 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKF] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKG] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 10 11 12 14 15) ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKH] (IRQs 3 4 5 6 7 10 *11 12 14 15) Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay PnPBIOS: Scanning System for PnP BIOS support...

My computer is a 2.6 GHz P4 on an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with 1 GB of ECC-RAM. The video card is an ATI 9800 nonpro. The above trace is from the smp kernel, but even the up one panics. Just in case anyone is interested. :-) /Erik
