Any ideas how to proceded further into this problem? Steps I took were: 1. Got a fresh 2.6.16.1 kernel 2. Applied the kdb patch from ftp://oss.sgi.com/www/projects/kdb/download/v4.4/ 3. make clean; make; make modules_install install; reboot; I am running this Linux RHEL inside VMWare. Now when I reboot to the 2.6.16-kgb kernel.. I get the following error after I choose the 2.6.16 kernel from grub! __________________________________ Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.6 starting Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
