As I mentioned in a previous message, I was having problems installing the 
development tree because the LBA disk parameters were not recognized 
properly.  Although I am willing to put up with a lots of stuff testing 
systems, I have no desire to just screw up my harddisks (even on a test 
system).

 Since I suspect it is the 2.6 kernel and did not find anything in bugzilla 
which could possible be this problem, I thought I would give the 2.6 kernel 
from ~arjanv a try.

But there is a lot more there than just kernel + modutils ... such a 
initscripts, device-mapper, etc.
