At least my problem appears to be some missing feature in the kernel, probably
one of the 'fooFS' things releated to ramdisk and/or early startup.
I enabled several things I found in the F17 .config file that were not in my
config file, and now my kernel boots, at least when I
build and install it on the F17 machine.

I'm going to try building on F13 and just (re)making the initrd on
F17 like I have been for all other distributions, but that will be
a day or two..got a release to shove out the door first!

Thanks,
Ben
