Thanks John,
I tried to make the "vanilla" kernel like you suggested. It did not work
either. But this time I got a different error message:
Inter_rng: FWH not detected

Ext3 is a module in the kernel configuration. Do you think it is causing
the problem now? Should I rebuild the kernel with ext3 as built in, like
ext2?
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [Discussion] Kernel Panic-root boot option
The first thing to try is to make a "vanilla" kernel work on your system
(2.6.19, without the web100 patch). My first guess from the error
message is that your kernel config does not have LVM support. One thing
to try would be to use the Red Hat config as a starting point. Try
copying the config file (hopefully at /boot/config-2.6.9-5.ELsmp) to
.conifg in your kernel build directory, and 'make oldconfig'.
Once you get the "vanilla" kernel running, apply the web100 patch, 'make
oldconfig' again and rebuild/reinstall.
Hope that helps,
-John
