The only possible list-relevant bit of info here would be knowing *why* you're building your own, such that we can make the Fedora kernel provide what you need so you don't have to, if possible and/or relevant. That said, seeing as how a Fedora kernel does boot your system, you'll probably get a lot closer to a bootable system with your own kernel if you start with the Fedora kernel config file instead of the upstream kernel config file, and go from there. > On 11/12/07, *Jarod Wilson* <jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx > <mailto:jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx>> wrote: > > Feng Xian wrote: > > Thanks for all your help.
