I am using fedora 4 64 bit release and having extreme problems getting any kernel to boot up apart from the one that came on the dvd. kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-x86_64
I have used yum update and managed to install all the packages and the kernel, but if I choose the new kernel in grub, I get the following
decompressing linux.................................done
booting linux
and then it hangs on booting linux. If I return back to kernel 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4-x86_64 that came with the dvd it boots up fine. I have tried getting the kernel source from kernel.org and making a custom build kernel. I still get the same problem. Does anybody know how to resolve this problem? I also have acpi=off in grub because that causes problems, so thats not the answer.
