There is rather more detail in my original post at <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.kernelnewbies/32979>. In particular, it includes the tail of the messages from a failed boot (transcribed by hand), and a link to the dmesg output for a successful 2.6.24 boot at <http://crypt.org/kernel/dmesg-2.6.24.7>. If there is other information I can usefully supply let me know, but see also the problems with the boot printk delay referenced in my OP. :> Earlier I wrote: :> :I've been trying to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.22.14-72.fc6.
