kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11 compil ed from source will not boot
Dear list, There is something seriously wrong with this kernel release. It compiles - but will not boot all the way. It hangs somewhere. I even tried to boot into single user mode. I never get to the shell prompt when booting in single user mode, nor to the gnome login banner when letting it boot in multiuser mode. After some 30-45 minutes I Ctrl-Alt_Del and the kernel pops the message Stopping all md devices .. and the pc reboots. I did not have this problem with these kernels 2.6.29.6-213.fc11 2.6.29.5-191.fc11 Are there others who have tried to build 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11 from source rpm and configured the kernel in any way before building? Did you see any errors when running make modules_install as I did? Did the resulting kernel boot up all the way? If you need more info, please let me know.

The main piece of information you appear to have missed off is the modifications you have made in your build.

The steps to build the kernel at URL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel were exactly what I needed. I was not aware of this document before. The only thing extra I had to do was to untar linux-2.6.29.tar.bz2 and fix drivers/staging/rt2860/config.mk, and then re-tar. Guess I should have created a patch, and should have added that patch to the spec file. But, since this is only one-off, I did not see the need for it. I am sure there will be yet another kernel update for whic I will have to repeat this whole process. What a pain in the neck! If I had known that the Atheros 9K series of mini-pci cards were supported natively, I would not have bought the Ralink 2860 card. Thanx again for your help.
