I haven't had any problem booting with any of the kernels, but when I
try to build a kernel with a Fedora config from /boot, it builds fine
but doesn't boot after install. I started by building a very basic
kernel for testing, and then started adding features to get everything I
need. But just using the latest FC6 config file gets me a kernel which
fails in just the way you mention.

Happy to say I don't see that, I'm using PATA optical devices, and USB
on some machines, both work. I can't get scanning to work even after
buying a "supported" scanner, so I may have to go back to Slackware and
a 2.4 kernel on one machine, but boot and run does fine.
