I've posted about this before, without any replies, so here I go again ...
I have been unable to get a kernel.org kernel to run correctly on FC4.
The same kernel configuration works fine on FC3. The last kernel I tried
was 2.6.12.5.
I'd appreciate any tips you might have for getting a stock kernel running.
Thanks,
John
