Well, you could try with kernel from here: http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/RPMS.kernel/ As I said earlier, that 2.6.9-1.715_FC3 works better than those labeled as FC4. And those seems to have gpg signatures also, which is nice. And there is no need for you to use smp kernels (unless you have computer that benefits for those). > The first smp kernel begins to boot, but then hangs just after you get > the splash to the console from Grub of what drive that its booting from. > The kernel-2.6.9-1.1049_FC4 kernel has panic and sends this message to > the screen: > > Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/ide/pci/piix.c: 390: > spin_lock(drivers/ide/ide.c: c0364d48) already locked by > drivers/ide-iops.c/1234 > > Any ideas on this one?

And if kernel from http://people.redhat.com/davej/kernels/Fedora/FC3/RPMS.kernel/ don't work either file a bug for that one also. -- T:Ossi
