Test article 1: Compaq Pressario 4160, Pentium 75 - 200, 132.793 MHz.

* Eth0 (00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Lite-On Communications Inc
  LNE100TX (rev 20), Linux Tulip driver version 1.1.13 (May 11, 2002))
  failed to initialize correctly. I could ping other hosts from the
  target, but couldn't ping (or ssh) to the target. At shutdown, the
  system reported that it had a different MAC address than
  expected. This is new.

Aug 15 09:58:19 issola kernel: eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 45e1.
Aug 15 09:58:44 issola rpcidmapd: rpc.idmapd startup succeeded

The second line about setting full duplex, the penultimate line above,
is not in the logs from booting to other kernels.

* USB hub and floppy drive (Vendor: Y-E DATA Model: USB-FDU, Rev:
  5.01) worked fine.

* Kingston 256MB USB key
  (http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=2032) failed at
  fdisk. This device is known to work on FC1 and FC2 kernel
  2.6.6-1.435.2.3.

Test article 2: Toshiba Tecra 8000, Pentium II (Deschutes), 266.621
MHz.

* Floppy drive: No access to the floppy diskette is performed (an
  access is normal). Instead, I get a message: "usb 1-1: control
  timeout on ep0out". At least the machine does not lock up, as it has
  in the past.

* Kingston USB key drive: Similar response:

Aug 15 11:15:03 teckla kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 2
Aug 15 11:15:08 teckla kernel: usb 1-1: control timeout on ep0out

Both machines run very slowly after the Kingston device is inserted.

On both test machines, the installation left the default boot kernel
in grub.conf to point to the prior default kernel (was "default=0",
changed it to "default=1"). As these are test kernels, this is
probably a good idea.
