I compiled my own 2.6 kernel from kernel.org and had a lot of compile 
errors.  Finally got the options right where it would compile.

But when I booted...  one new 'feechur' seems to be that the running 
messages of all the things it is doing during boot no longer is 
standard..  it just said it was booting and that was that.   It finally 
hung somewhere in the process and I haven't taken the time to figure out 
how to get to the dmesg (or whatever) list of messages....  to see what 
it had a problem with.
