Can someone point me to a guide for respinning the installation FC5 DVD with an updated kernel? It looks like 2.6.17 is the first kernel I can boot on my x86_64 hardware since 2.6.13, which prevented me from upgrading from FC4 to FC5.
I need not only to have the updated kernel installed, but also boot Anaconda with an updated kernel image.
Also, it looks like FC5 has a unified UP and SMP kernel -- correct?

Would you be willing to give FC6test1 a try ? Maybe get the discboot.iso, and if that can succesfully boot decide if you would like to test FC6 at this early stage ?

No. It has better detection of which is required, and the smp is more stable, so there is less chance that it wont work.

Maybe on one of my other machines, but this one I don't want to mess with, and it's the only x86_64 box I have.

I mean -- I do not see kernel-smp packages in FC5's updates, I presume FC5 uses the same kernel for both up and smp.

For x86_64 yes.

FC5 and even the latest FC4 kernels don't carry smp anymore for x86_64.

FC4 has been fixed now in updates-testing, that'll go live on July 5th.

Yes, for x86_64 there is only one kernel, which is an SMP kernel, but works just fine for UP systems.
