I have installed the kernel-2.6.4 from http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/.(Only the rpm kernel-2.6.4-1.257...... no other packages) I had also added a line "alias usb-controller uhci-hcd" in /etc/modprobe.conf.FC1 now can be booted into it.But it gives errors during booting: Initialising USB Controllers: fgrep:/proc/bus/usb/drivers:no such file or directory. [OK] Initialising USB keyboard: FATAL:Cannot find module usbkybd [FAILED] IInitialising USB mouse: FATAL:Cannot find module usbmouse [FAILED] kudzu cannot detect any mouse and asks for removing configuration of the Generic Mouse.If I remove it I can log on to text prompt but the X-server would not start.If I do not remove it I graphical prompt tries to load but fails.It then tries to configure my mouse ,asks me to select a mouse type but ultimately fails and system hangs. But when I boot to my old kernel (2.4......nptl... that came with Fedora) everything works fine .It detects all my hardware (mouse,keyboard etc) but gives an error: mount:fs sysfs is not supported by kernel. I created /sysfs directory as per instructions in www.fedoranews .org as: "Kernel v2.6 now uses a new filesystem, create a new mountpoint in / and add the proper line in /etc/fstab: $ sudo mkdir /sys $ sudo echo "none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0" >> /etc/fstab # Or use vi, nano, emacs... Almost done, sometimes you got problems with the default initrd provided by the rpm, so you better rebuild it: $ sudo mv /boot/initrd-2.6.0-1.1.103.img /root $ cd /lib/modules $ sudo /sbin/mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.6.0-1.1.103.img 2.6.0-1.1.103/ Next thing you need to do is move your hwconf file: $ sudo mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /root" I guess removing the directory(entry) will fix this.Otherwse no problem. I log on to graphical prompt and can perform all operations. Can anyone tell me how to get kernel-2.6.4 to work in graphical mode. Thanks in advance.
