Here is what I did
1) Did not use the kernel config file from the previous kernel (.config).
Using make oldconfig may have been the problem
Instead, I did this:
make clean
make mrproper
make menuconfig
select only the options I need
save config
2) ran:
make
make modules_install
make install
( NOTE: be sure to use 'make install' as it seems to create the proper initrd file )
I was not using 'make install' before. I think this may have been the actual fix as
it seems to setup the initial ram disk properly.

I seem to be having issues booting the 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org.
I have FC-6 installed and wanted to upgrade the kernel from kernel.org
(I have done this many times before)
When I go to boot my newly built kernel, I get a kernel panic due to:
Volume Group "VolGroup00" not found
When I built the kernel, I used my current kernel .config file (2.6.18 from fc6) by doing a 'make oldconfig'.
Has anyone successfully upgraded to 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org on FC6 ???
Thank you.
