[linux-audio-user] FC5 + X86_64 + RT16 = no boot

Has anyone bit the bullet and updated to FC5? I did a while back...

(the compelling reason was that I got a new laptop hard disk - 7200 RPM -
woohoo)

with livna, and 34 hours of painful yum fetching missing libs and compiling
random things later I almost have a laptop that can do audio again.
(I'm mostly happy with the FC5 release, save for the suppressed fury at the
maintainers for losing the "install everything" option, and at gnome for
continuing to dumb down the interface to the point of stupidity... but I
digress)

I've built a couple versions of the 2.6.16-RT kernel, 5,13,16, but it
freezes at the "loading linux" prompt.

The only semi-dubious thing I see on the build is:

  SYSCALL arch/x86_64/ia32/vsyscall-sysenter.so
/usr/bin/ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`arch/x86_64/ia32/vsyscall-sysenter.o' is incompatible with i386 output
  SYSCALL arch/x86_64/ia32/vsyscall-syscall.so
/usr/bin/ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file
`arch/x86_64/ia32/vsyscall-syscall.o' is incompatible with i386 output

I note that there seem to have been a few x86_64 bugs fixed in the
2.6.16.Xreleases, so I will try patching those in next....

I'm sore tempted to go back to 2.6.14-rtXX, but don't know what that will
break... with the update to the compiler, the OS, etc...

So has anyone got anywhere/had issues with FC5/gcc 4.1/x86_64/RT?

current .config attached (I started with full debugging on... now gradually
eliminating drivers) - up until this build I had HRT turned on.. compiling
now...
