custom-kernel 2.6.11 and Fedora Core 3

[Anders Nielsen]

Hi guys,

I've tried installing a custom 2.6.11 kernel on my Fedora Core 3
system. The kernel is compiled nicely, but when I boot the machine it
says:

> Warning: unable to open an initial console. 

 - the machine has NO graphic card, so it has to display everything to
console. Booting the shipped Fedora Core 3 kernel works fine, so it's
definately something in my new kernel-setup.

I've done "make install" and verified that a System.map, a kernel and
a initrd is present in /boot, but it fails anyway. Do I have to
specify something more, to get a custom kernel to work?

Some info:
> # grep CONSOLE /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.3/.config
> # CONFIG_NETCONSOLE is not set
> CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
> CONFIG_HW_CONSOLE=y
> CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE=y
> CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE=y
> CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE=y
> # CONFIG_MDA_CONSOLE is not set
> CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE=y

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
