Smashing my head against the Wall - Hanging Kernel Booting

[Dwaine Garden]

I just yumed against the latest version of the development tree.  As of 
the 17th.

I'm having a problem booting with a compiled version of the standard 
kernel from kernel.org.
It's 2.6.8.1.

After the initialization of the usb stuff.  The cpu goes full steam and 
the machine just sits there.   I did not have any problem with compiling 
a kernel before.  So I though I have something wrong with my grub.conf.

Just to let you know, kernel 2.6.8-1.541 boots fine.   But since I do 
development work with the usbvision driver.  I use the base kernel from 
kernel.org.

What am I missing?  I did turn off the SCSI stuff, because I thought it 
was the problem.   There is no indication that there is a problem.  Just 
stops booting and the cursor sits there.

Thanks...
Dwaine.
