The Fedora 6 kernel doesn't boot either, at least on a Dell Workstation
490, without "nohpet".
Lets just drop the 64bit tickless stuff for now, it clearly isn't baked,
and isn't going to get much better by the end of the week (which I want
to get something into updates-testing by).
AND it requires a version of mkinitrd (6.something) that's not
available
for Fedora 6. (I installed with --nodeps and it seems okay but there's
no 'symvers' file in /boot/grub for the new kernel.)
Oops, that part of the specfile update needs fixing.
The require: in F6 went too far forward, and I probably pushed F7 back a rev.
