Okay, let me try this again by restating my problem in a littledifferent way.

I have a generic AMD Athlon XP, VIA chipset mainboard based system thatwill boot FC4 and run just fine with the FC4 baseline 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4stock kernel but when I boot the updated 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4 stock kernelit fails to include some of the hardware devices like the ethernetinterface, USB mouse, etc. The same problem occurs with the FC5baseline stock kernel. What is different in the two stock kernels thatcould be causing this problem and, more importantly, what can I do tofix the problem?

I also have a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop that has similar problems. Itwill boot and run the FC4 baseline 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 stock kernel andkernels through the early 1400 builds but for all following stock kernelupdates the PCMCIA ethernet device is not included.
