Hi everybody !

Has anyone a kernel 2.6.30 working in stable version ?
I'm using Fedora 11 on my Vaio z11, and two weeks ago, I tried to  
update my kernel to the new one for fedora (which is the 2.6.30-5 PAE  
or something like that) and had many problems. The bigger one being  
that I'm unable to startx. It fails either with the intel or with the  
nvidia one.

The only working way was with the nvidia and the driver VESA and  
typing startx as root at Run Level 3.
It worked, but was completely useless (... I won't use graphical mode  
as root, it's all but a good thing to do, and... telinit 5 wasn't  
working. And anyway, I use the nvidia card for graphical performance,  
then it's useless to use it with the vesa driver).
Actually, I have to stay with kernel :
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon  
Aug 24 17:16:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It seems it is a PAE issue AND/OR an Xorg one :

Has anyone a solution or the same problem ?
