Good Afternoon,
I installed kernel-smp-2.6.18-1.2200 today and rebooted my computer. I
got a kernel panic pretty fast in the boot process. I have 3 drives in
my system. md0 is a RAID 1 /boot partition formatted ext3 of appr. 1GB
on hda and hdc. I have a 1GB swap partition on hdc. The remainder of
the space on all three drives is dedicated to md1 a RAID 5 partition
formatted ext3 of appr. 450GB. hdb is a DVD-ROM/CD-RW.
The system boots normally with kernel-smp-2.6.17-1.2187
The error message booting with kernel-smp-2.6.18-1.2200 is (and this is
typed by hand since it was the quickest manner I had to capture the
data; tried to be absolutely accurate as possible, however there may be
a slight error or two...):

And that's all she wrote. Any ideas?
Respectfully,

This is Bz 202596 again.
If root is on a raid 5 device, or you need raid 5 during boot, need to
run mkinitrd --with=raid456 after booting an older FC5 kernel. Module
raid5 is now raid456.
