Thanks I was able to load 2.6.19 on FC4. I had missed out some modules and also, hadn't done "make modules_install" after re-compiling.
Also, I'm working on extending this kernel to some Wi-Fi drivers. If you guys worked on this, I'll be happy to take inputs. If I need further assistance, I'm glad this mailing list can help me out.
Warm Regards,
Anoop J

this only does more damage than good.

it's more likely that you didn't compile your storage driver, or your
filesystem (or Device manager)...
