I have problem installing the plain kernel 2.6.9 from kernel.org under FC3, but whithout any problem previously under FC2. I tried to install 2.6.9 with the default LVM filesystem but don't know how to let the system translate the LVM to device id, so I made another fresh installation of FC3 without LVM, instead, the old style of '/dev/hda1', '/dev/hda2', '/dev/hda3'. In this new system, I "make configure, bzImage, modules, modules_install, and install" for the plain kernel 2.6.9. I included initrd support in the kernel and I assume I get the correct initrd.img after 'make install'. But if I try to boot into the new plain 2.6.9 the system hangs after "Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel." There might something new in FC3 and I hope somebody could help me! Gang
