Description of problem:
Downloaded and installed the kernel version 2.4.21-20EL. At boot time
Kudzu configured my ATI Radeon 9600se card (supposedly using the newly
downloaded ATI 9600 radeon driver). Crashed after login/password input. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.From Professional Workstation newly installed from cds, ran up2date
to download and install all packages. 
2.At reboot, kudzu attempts to configure the graphics card - ATI
radeon 9600se
3.System crashes after logging in root/password.

  
Actual results:
System crashed, had to reboot, run in failsafe mode, copy the old
Xconfig86 file and reboot again.


Expected results:
Should boot cleanly with the right driver and not the VESA driver.

Additional info:
Also did the following - kernel 2.4.21-20
/usr/src/linux2.4#make mrproper
/usr/src/linux2.4#make xconfig
Configured whatever is needed to run ATI cards
/usr/src/linux2.4#make dep
/usr/src/linux2.4#make clean
/usr/src/linux2.4#make bzImage modules modules_install install

Looks for module sata_nv, does not find it and fails to run mkinitrd

So for the time being I get rid of the entry for the module in
/etc/modules.conf and rerun everything to make a new image.

I get a kernel panic at boot time, pointing to the entry in grub.conf.
So I reboot and change the entry in grub.conf to root=/dev/hda5.

Then get a new set of messages at boot time saying /proc/usb/bus not
found.. etc.etc.

So basically my 2.4.21-20 is defunct now. Please help. I can still run
on the older version of the kernel, 2.4.21-4 

I also did one other thing.. in the Makefile in /usr/src/linux2.4 I
took of the word custom from <version>custom. I hope this is ok.

Is there also a way that I can reinstall all the downloaded packages
from /var, so I can get my system back to normal.

Thanks for your attention.

Anita.
