I just had an opportunity to try that on x86_86 machine using
M2R32-MVP board from ASUS.  Actually yum grabbed 2.6.22.1-32.fc6
                                                          ^^
from updates-testing.  This failed to boot due to SATA timeouts.
I got:

ata1.00: qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
ata1.00: failed to IDENTIFY (I/O error, err_max=0x4)
ata1.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)

followed by some attempts to limit SATA link speed, which failed
as well, and the same repeated to ata2.00.  That took a long time,
obviously enough, and ended up in a panic as disks cannot be found.

What is worse - after 'rpm -ivh --nodeps kernel-2.6.23-0.73.rc2.fc8.x86_64.rpm'
from the current rawhide results were really the same.

This is a corresponding dmesg fragment from the current, booting,
2.6.20-1.2962.fc6:

Should all of that go to bugzilla?
