    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?
