You could try re-configuring the Kernel with the specific processor support of your system. Compile & install. Somehow, I think this will work. I have Asus P4S800(SiS 648, 963), nVidia FX5200GPU and experienced the same problems with FC2 and the 2.6.6 Kernel. "Uncompressing kernel, OK booting..." <----System stops responding at this point. After receiving this error I reconfigured the Kernel with "makemenuconfig" and modified many options, including options within the Processor settings to support my P4(3.0GHz). Also, configured the 2.6.6 Kernel without(default) the thermal throttling jiffy thingy only available for P4 processors... I learnt that lesson from the 2.4 Kernel. Anyway, It might be useful to know that the 2.6.6 Kernel is Defaulted with 8k stacks and the REG_PARAMS configuration option IS Enabled by default. These are apparent concerns of the nVidia proprietary drivers which cause them to behave the way they do until an new fully tested update of the driver is released. But there is something else! And I think(but don't know) it is the processor support in the Kernel because of what happened through my efforts. Well all I can say now is that what is said here worked for me and the system has been very stable now for over two weeks since FC2 & 2.6.6 upgrade. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith G.
