Thanks for all your help. I ran into another problem.
My 16-core machine has a scsi/sata disk. I have enabled all important
features related with scsi and sata. I built 2.6.23 kernel on this
machine. But the kernel always got crashed randomly. Sometimes it
couldnot even boot, reporting some random errors, like "segment
violation, sleep for 40 seconds", or "Group volume VolGroup00 uses lvm2
metadata: read-only", then jump to a strange login window that I cannot
log in using my root password.
Another thing is that Linux works perfect if I installed Fecore Core 7
on this multi-core machine with scsi/sata disk. Why it didnt work if I
used re-compiled kernel. I guess it is because I didnt config kernel
right (although I enabled all important features related with scsi/sata)
in "make menuconfig". If you happen to know how to enable scsi/sata
features correctly, please let me know. Thanks!
I don't think this is the correct forum for this question. This list is
targeted at issues surrounding the Fedora kernel, and you're building
your own kernel. Once you start building your own, with a config that
obviously differs significantly from the Fedora config, we can't
realistically provide support here.
Furthermore, I'm not quite sure I understand why you think you need to
build your own kernel either. To be bluntly honest, if you can't figure
out what's going wrong there on your own, you probably shouldn't be
building your own.
