Yeah, I'm picking over that bug now. Will try and find a box I can
reproduce this on tomorrow.
The Fedora 6 kernel doesn't boot either, at least on a Dell Workstation
490, without "nohpet".
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.)
