Difference between FC2 x86_64 up kernel and boot kernel on FC2 amd64 dvd?

[Jeff Johnson]

Greetings,

I have a kernel module compiled against 2.6.5-1.358 uniprocessor that 
loads without error under that kernel. The version in Makefile was 
changed to 2.6.5-1.358 instead of 358custom. The module will load in an 
installed 2.6.5-1.358 OS but it will not load from the initrd boot 
kernel on the FC2 AMD64 boot DVD.

The kernel versions appear to be the same, both are uniprocessor, both 
are x86_64 (not ia32e) and both are version 2.6.5-1.358. When I try and 
insmod the kernel module from the VC#2 shell it fails but I get no error 
message.

Does anyone know if there is anything special about the boot kernel on 
the FC at -AMD64 DVD that is different from the 2.6.5-1.358 uniprocessor 
kernel that gets installed by this same DVD?

The end goal is making a device driver diskette. The diskette and 
modules.cgz archive work fine but the driver module itself will not 
load, even if I manually extract it from the modules.cgz archive. Can't 
figure why it loads in the installed OS but not from the boot 
kernel/initrd on the FC2 DVD.

Any help is appreciated!

Jeff
