It looks like 2.6.17 is the first kernel I can boot on my x86_64 hardware since 2.6.13, which prevented me from upgrading from FC4 to FC5.

Would you be willing to give FC6test1 a try ? Maybe get the discboot.iso, and if that can succesfully boot decide if you would like to test FC6 at this early stage ?

Maybe on one of my other machines, but this one I don't want to mess with, and it's the only x86_64 box I have.

I need not only to have the updated kernel installed, but also boot Anaconda with an updated kernel image.

Also, it looks like FC5 has a unified UP and SMP kernel -- correct?
No. It has better detection of which is required, and the smp is more stable, so there is less chance that it wont work.

I mean -- I do not see kernel-smp packages in FC5's updates, I presume FC5 uses the same kernel for both up and smp.
