I pulled the config out of the kernel*.src.rpm after 'rpmbuild -bp' (I only saw the configs in /boot after doing that :P ), and then ran 'make oldconfig'. The first time around I forgot to do a modules_install and the ext[234] modules weren't in the initramfs. That made it hard for the kernel to read the /boot and / filesystems. ;) After fixing that idiocy, it now hangs in early boot - just a blinking cursor. I'm speculating it is a problem with support for my old-ish ATI Radeon Xpress 200 video chipset with a vanilla kernel.

I've got a PVR-150 and HVR-1600 both with the Zilog Z8's on them. If I ever get my act together, I'll at least be able to test that and integrate any changes into the ivtv & cx18 drivers. I've recently seen users having trouble on IRC, BTW.
