Sorry to late have the new board and a full new setup,
but the .config was from

http://rpm.hozac.com/dhozac/centos/5/vserver/x86_64/kernel-devel-2.6.22.19-v
s2.3.0.34.1.x86_64.rpm

quite all default on make oldconfig

only Nic's and sata amd/nvidia changes to y/m

I have read that the Kernel 2.6.36 have troubles with AMD Chipset,
and as I have get the new board the 2.6.22.19-vs2.3.0.34.1.x86_64,
was booting and the 2.6.36 not.

And I have the same opinion the sata driver is lost,
because last time a have the same,forgot to compile the sata driver for the
P5b-VM,
but this was simple to find and set it to y/m. and ..

Sorry more a don't have anymore

If anyone have a .config for Centos5.5/ 2.6.36 I would be happy!
The new Kernel on rpm.hozac.com dosn't work,
there are troubles with: Missing Dependency: mkinitrd-dhz

THX

what I can see from those pictures is that some driver
might be missing from the kernel, as there are no
disks detected ...

upload the kernel .config and we can have a look, also
provide the 'lspci -vvv' output from that specific
machine ...

best,
