That should be a sufficient boot I suspect.

Can you disable virtualization in the BIOS - does that affect reboot 
speed?

I'm just shooting into the dark here - if you can make your system 
boot bzImages then you might as well be better off trying to bisect 
it.

On Fedora booting bzImages of vanilla kernels is reasonably 
straightforward: a 'make localconfig' done while you are booted into a 
Fedora kernel ought to pick up everything into your .config and you 
won't need any modules to be able to boot up to userspace. That should 
ease bisection.

Thanks,
