I fired a quick mail before trying the kernel on the
other machine(laptop) which it did not boot.  

I apologize to the original poster (OP), it did not
boot on the laptop :(.  Had to boot to 35 kernel.  Got
a switchroot error.  On the desktop, it worked on the
laptop it failed.  It worked on 1/2 machines.

Regards,

Antonio
