I downloaded the vanilla kernel linux-2.6.20.3.tar.gz and went onto
to install this.During make xconfig , I unchecked the symmetric
mutli-processing support , and under Processor Family I selected the
Athlon/Duron/K7 option.
However after creating the kernel rpm and trying to boot it , I got a
Kernel Panic , with some error message saying
"microcode : cpu0 not a capable Intel Processor....
.....
mount : could not find filesystem 'dev/root/
setup root : moving /dev failed :no such file"
You selected the correct processor option.
Post the contents of your /boot/grub/grub.conf file. And a listing of
your /boot and /lib/modules directories.
Boot the system with the Fedora kernel. As root, run
chkconfig microcode_ctl off
This should fix the microcode message (which isn't your problem).
