hi @all,

i´m having big problems implementing a pae-kernel.
i´m using centos5 on following hw

intel core2duo 2,66 e6750	
gigabyte p35-ds3p board
8 gb ram
4 * samsung_sata_hd501lj
nvidia geforce 8500gt

i can use a xen-pae kernel without having problems, but as i need to run 
vmware, it´s not a valid option to keep that kernel. 
the default kernel (which supports only up to 4gb ram) works fine, too. 
as soon as i boot a pae kernel the system stops booting at the point: 
"udev starting". 
i also can´t install the 64-bit version of centos5. 
i´ve tried the following kernels

2.6.18-53.1.4.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5PAE
2.6.18-53.1.13.el5PAE

2.6.18-53.1.13.el5xen
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5xen

any suggestions???

tia!!!
