Yes, I'll upload it.

I hope you would use "install" mode of rpm (not update). Keep the old 
kernels.
I believe that kernel should work with AC1 versions of packages above. I 
can't be sure because I don't have AC1.
I did modify mkinitrd script a little bit. Some how the "init" script 
from initrd could not start "udevstart" execurtable from  "/sbin" 
directory (which is defined as  symbolic link  to "/bin").  I  modified 
the "init" script  to start  udevstart from  /bin.
The udev and selinux packages are unmodified. It seems that new udev 
takes less time during startup.

Thank you,
