kernel panic after booting with new kernel 2.6.11.9

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I was recompiling a stock kernel because I was wanting to get the 
latest version of speakup and alsa to see if my sound card was 
supported.  I was wondering once I am on the rescue disk what should I 
do to restore the kernel 2.6.10700 in grub.conf what editors are there? 
I have named my new kernel vmlinuz could I just make a link between 
those two files and remove the bad kernel?  Also, When I am sure 
everything is the way I want it if I do rpm -e kernel version I get 
failed dependaces and kernel2.4 is needed for this package or another 
other.  bye On Mon, 16 May 2005, Janina Sajka wrote:
