After a succsessful upgrade to kernel "2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.i686" on my 
"IBM ThinkPad T23",
I have now run into problems when doing the same on my desktop system 
which
is equipped with an onboard "SCSI" chip driven by "aix7xxx.ko".
The latest "rescue" disk couldn't load the driver module and when 
selecting it
manually, the above module was not even on the list. However, it is 
present in the
kernel package. After updating "mkinitrd" to the latest "rawhide" 
version, I installed
kernel "2.6.19-1.2877.fc7.i686" on the system ["SCSI" hard disk] and 
encountered the
well known kernel panic after the kernel was unable to mount the root 
volume
[/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00]. The "initrd" file looks ok, in 
particular its size.
The system is "FC6" plus updates instead of "rawhide" on my notebook 
but that's
probably not the reason. "SELinux" is in permissive mode on both 
systems.
