[ltp] Problem with linux-2.6.17

[Timothy Murphy]

I've had problems with linux-2.6.17 on a ThinkPad T20.
I get a couple of odd warnings when compiling:
--------------------------------------
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: 
from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at offset 0xeec) and 
'acpi_safe_halt'
WARNING: sound/oss/cs4232.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: 
from .text between 'cs4232_pnp_probe' (at offset 0x85) and 'unload_cs4232'
--------------------------------------

When I run this version of Linux I get a kernel panic,
the first error message being
Unable to access resume device (/dev/hda7).
[/dev/hda7 is in fact my swap partition .]

Later I got the error
mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root .

It's quite possible I made a silly error in "make xconfig".
All other old kernels seem to run perfectly,
and the entry in grub.conf is the same.

Has anyone had a similar problem?

I should say I am running Fedora-5 on my ThinkPad T20.
