I installed the new kernel-smp (2.4.21-20.0.1.EL) kernel and it installed flawlessly. However, every time I boot I get a kernel panic and I must reboot to the older kernel. The error I am getting is: (it seems to be failing on jbd.o and ext3.o) Kernel requires old insmod, but couldn't run /bin/insmod.old No such file or directory Then it can't find the initrd and Panics. I am running a single partition on my software RAID1, the file system is ext3.
