Here's the earliest entry I have in my grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-prepkatahdin1.1369)
root(hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11-prepkatahdin1.1369 ro root=/dev/hda1
selinux=0 no_timer_check
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.11-prepkatahdin1.1369.img
At this point, the Fedora kernel was tracking one of the pre-2.6.12
patchsets so it's not a vanilla 2.6.11.
