RE: [TCLUG:2831] VArStation and RedHat 5.2

["Schlough, Mark" <Mark.Schlough@nmb.norwest.com>]

If it's any consolation, I too can only boot the stock kernel that comes
with redhat 5.2  I cannot boot a custom kernel for the same reason you
give.

Maybe it's time to look at the errata...

Don't you wish all OSes had errata :)
