currently running on 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 installed the 2.6.17-1.2187_FC5 rpm. booted 2187. kernel panic. every time i boot that kernel. re-downloaded the rpm and re-installed it. there are no additional modules -- plain vanilla kernel. always panics like this. but the 2174 and prior kernels come up just fine. this is the last screen before the panic: ,,, Loading ext.ko module Loading dm-mod.ko module device-mapper: 4.6.0-ioctl (2006-02-17) initialized: dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx Loading dm-mirror.ko module Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading-dm-snapshot.ko module Trying to resume from /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 Unable to access resume device (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01) Creating rood device.
