Both had earlier 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels and both now have 2.6.12-r9 kernels. No problems on either. One runs a 4 disk software raid 5 setup (local Gentoo mirror). Both boot off the SCSI controller. fwiw- I never use "make oldconfig" Somewhere in the 2.6.x series I discovered that if I mount /boot, then run "make config", it would pick up my running config. Perhaps it was the System.map setting in /boot. Regardless, I just do - make menuconfig make make modules_install make install vim /boot/grub/grub.conf > Is it just me . > Sounds like something else in your config isn't set up properly.
