[elrepo] Question about kernel-ml

[Joe Henley]

I apologise if this is not the right place for this query.  Please point 
me to the right place if necessary.  Thanks!

I used yum to install the most recent version of the ml kernel for EL5. 
  It installed 2.6.39-4.... (only) and without any problems.

When I rebooted and attempted to run it, it panicked.  It gave me 
several screens-full of messages, but nothing into /var/log/messages.  I 
tried twice with the same results.

Since this is such unusual behavior with stuff from elrepo, I suspect I 
have missed something very basic.  Am I setting up the ml kernel as you 
intended, or have I missed something?  At this point I don't have 
anything to post to bugzilla.kernel.org; and I suspect the problem is 
with something I did (or didn't do).

Suggestions, comments?

Thanks.
