But I've tried to use the HOWTO and RPMs to create fedora based livecd
(console mode only). I've installed FC6, and I try to make the
Livecds. With kernel 2.6.17-12187_FC5, all works fine, also on a FC6
install. However, with the latest 2.6.19 fc6 kernel, I get the
following error messages when booting from this kernel?

RAMDISK: ext2 filesystem found at block0
RAMDISK: Loading 8000KiB (1 disk) into ramdisk... done.
EXT2-fs: blocksize too small for device
grow_buffers: requested out-of-range block 18446744071562067968 for
device ram0
isofs_foll_super: bread failed, dev=ram0, iso_blknum=17,
block=-2147483648
No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext2 iso9660
Kernel panic - not syncing

Do you have any ideas what I have to change to get this kernel
booting? I suppose the important message is: EXT2-fs: blocksize too
small for device, but I don't understand why the 2.6.17 boots and
2.6.19 doesn't.
