I am using the 2.6.0 rpms from:
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/
Specifically its:
http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.5/RPMS.kernel/kernel-smp-2.6.0-0.test11.1.99.i686.rpm
The kernel-2.6.0-test11-i686-smp.config says:
# CONFIG_NOHIGHMEM is not set # CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_UMEM=m CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM=y

Did you have HIGHMEM set?
