compendium of info on 2.6 kernel-related issues??

  while i've seen reference to some new sites where folks have started
HOWTOs for fedora core, are there any sites devoted specifically to
upgrading FC1 to the current pre-release of the 2.6 kernel? i've seen a
few sites, but a lot of that information reflected 2.6 on RH9, and is now
redundant under FC1.

  specifically, some time next week, i want to start with an empty system,
install stock FC1, upgrade to whatever 2.6 kernel is available, and
document what it takes to bring the rest of the system into line, issues
like:

  1) 2.6-related changes to /etc/rc.sysinit
  2) support for sysfs
  3) support for devfs(?)
  4) converting LVM to LVM2
  5) ACPI
  6) ALSA

and on, and on.  you get the idea.

  a while back, i proposed a separate forum just for 2.6-related stuff,
but that idea was panned pretty quickly, and i could see the rationale
behind that.

  at this point, however, with 2.6 stabilizing and the real release
allegedly imminent, i'd be interested in a forum of *some* kind that
concentrates exclusively on 2.6-related stuff.

  in preparation for next week, i'd be interested in hearing from folks
who have done something like this, or from others who haven't but want
to suggest things that i can test and report back on.  how about coming
up with a wish list of what we'd all like to resolve in terms of working
with a 2.6 kernel under FC1, and i'll test what i can.

  thoughts?
