21 Well, I rebooted. I'm also back to my old kernel. The new kernel broke
22 all sorts of things. I thought about writing down the errors until I
23 saw how many there was. It was PAGES of problems. It booted to a prompt
24 tho. One thing I noticed, LVM failed. I have a drive that has LVM on
25 it and it would not mount although LVM service was started. I even
26 restarted it and it reported no errors when starting. I dunno.
27
28 So, this appears to be nowhere close to fixed. Right now, this is on my
29 nerves again. Let me know what you want me to post but right now, I'm
30 going to go have a sit down. I'll count those things hanging from the
31 ceiling or something. I can't recall what they call them but I count
32 them sometimes.
33
34 If I was eyeball to eyeball with the dev that started this, I could
35 patent and new color of purple/blue. You know, hands around the neck
36 and all. :/
37
38 I'm attaching the dmesg from the failed attempt. It's a whopper. I'm
39 not sure all the errors are in there either. Here's grub line:
40
41 title=Initramfs-new_kernel
42 root (hd0,0)
43 kernel /bzImage-3.2.11-2 root=/dev/sda3 init=/sbin/init rd.debug
44 rd.udev.debug nox
45 initrd /initramfs-3.2.11.img
46
47 I also tried other settings for the root line but that was the only one
48 that worked.
49
50 Thoughts? Should I just switch and save myself the aggravation?
51
52 Back to my hole.

62 Miss the compile output? Hint:
