Dmitry's patch stopped the LEDs but gave VFS no root device error, make no
sense to me so I start over...

Apply 2.6.18-rc5-mm1, then:
File: drivers-md-kconfig-fix-block-dependency.patch
File: provide-kernel_execve-on-all-architectures-fix-2.patch
File: provide-kernel_execve-on-all-architectures-fix-3.patch
File: revert-acpi-mwait-c-state-fixes.patch
File: revert-ide-hpa-resume-fix.patch

Falls over, looping, after a VFS no root message :(

Apply Dmitry's patch...

Okay, we're not doing the silly looping:

Error is same as previously reported.

A couple blank menu screens in other areas, make oldconfig doesn't :(

WTF happened to SATA support? Where's it hiding now? Found it...

Okay, boots --> Needs Dmitry's non-looping patch so errors don't scroll off
screen. Problem was SATA moved to new window and `make oldconfig` didn't ;)

Grant.
