The system I'm on is RH8.0 patched to run later kernels when my development machine went down. I got 2.5.52 to boot, last stable was 2.5.47-ac6 and I gave up. Unless you have some major need to upgrade the kernel without the distribution, grab the latest RH kernel, or use the latest 2.4 kernel available. -- Bill Davidsen <davidsen@....com> "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
