all it takes for me on Fedora is to boot a modular distro kernel once, then copy the /dev to the real (persistent) /dev:
mkdir /tmp2 mount /dev/sda1 /tmp2 cp -a /dev/* /tmp2/dev/ and from that point on a bzImage/vmlinuz can boot up on Fedora without any problems (as long as it has the right drivers built in), and the initrd line can be removed from grub.conf.
