The above stanza still needs some tlc.  I built a 2.6.22.1-rt6 (rt5

fuss about, but the reboot never completed, see the attached, heavily 
smunched camera shot of the panic.

Kinda looks like hda/sda confusion, with rt3 (this boot), its hda*, 
what is it now?  fstab or kernel config error?

yeah, as long as your filesystems are created with a proper label, all 
that you need to do is to change all 'hda' to 'sda' in the new kernel's 
/etc/grub.conf entry. (or enable the old IDE code in the .config, under 
CONFIG_IDE)
