Surprisingly no response after 8 days !

If you have tried this version of kernel-ml, you would have seen
"kernel panic" upon booting. :-(  This is because the stanza for
kernel-ml in grub.conf is missing the initrd line.  Just add:

initrd /initramfs-2.6.39-4.rc6.1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.img

and it will now boot.
