"booting has failed" in my case means "I can't find the drives."
I've downloaded source from kernel.org and built kernels for
2.6.24{,.1,.2.,3} and for 2.6.25-rc[1-5]. All the drivers I selected are
built in, "make install" creates an initrd, but I've not looked at its
contents. It doesn't work, but that's not important.
.3 finds the drives, rc1 does not. That's about as far as I can go until
someone else has something to try.
