my poor little toshiba libretto (p-120) won't boot with the new 4.7 i586 kernel. i've reverted back to the previous kernel for now. anyone else using the new i586 kernel successfully on old hardware?

As seen in that bug report, this is a known problem. Your solution at this moment will be one of the following:
(1) go back to the last kernel that worked (2) if you wish to go for the 4.7 kernel, use the centosplus kernel (3) rebuild the 4.7 kernel with an appropriate config file for i586
I assume the issue would be corrected in the next kernel update. It was just wrong config (i586) files that were used for building the kernel.

If someone wants to submit a patch, I'll have a go at pushing it through the buildsystems.
( will also comment on the issue report )

I like your statement, KB.
"So there is a lot of value add that happens within the CentOS setup that a lot of people in diverse areas benefit from. And all of this happens without the core distro being changed. eg. its possible to install CentOS-4 on i586 hardware and run it there, even though upstream dont support that. And there really *are* a lot of people using it on i586 hardware." (seen in: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2008-September/003369.html )
Fixing the current i586 issue will help keep the value of CentOS high... :-D (hint, hint)
