help! My re-compiled kernel always got crashed in a machine with scsi/sata disk

[Feng Xian]

I downloaded a clean version of 2.6.23 and didnt do any modification on it
(athough I am about to modify it in the future). By default, the clean
version doesnt enable sata features, so I enabled these features and
compiled this clean version. But I couldn't boot linux with the compiled
kernel like I mentioned in my previous posts.
