Hi, well my ide controler should have been in the .config file as it would been in the normal fc3 configuration file for the kernel and that is the file I used to mygreat to the new version just changed the settings for speakup. How can I boot into my system on a rescue disk or something to fix the problem or at least get my system booted so I can fix the problem? I still have the cds of fedora core 3 that I got from cheap bytes. bye My web page is at http://www.nickgawronski.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luke Yelavich" <themuso@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 10:20 PM Subject: Re: kernel panic after booting with new kernel 2.6.11.9 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Sun, May 15, 2005 at 12:28:04PM EST, Nick Gawronski wrote: >> Hi, I have fedora core 3 and just installed a new kernel from kernel.org >> with speakup latest cvs version.
