ok, worst case, you can wait for the scripts to autogenerate an

I extracted using
rpm2cpio kernel-2.6.14-1.1805_FC5.i686.rpm | cpio -id
then moved the vmlinuz file into tftpboot and PXE booted, got as far as
the blue language selection screen, so the spinlock-taint patch looks
like the culprit, I *didn't* make a new initrd.img so modules didn't
load (bit surprised I couldn't see errors about version mismatch
anywhere) but using PS/2 keyboard instead of USB I could switch VTs and
get as far as selecting a http install before it realised it hadn't got
a NIC.
All bodes well for tomorrow's rawhide ;-)
