I'll answer my own question. I removed kernel-2.6.1-1.65 to give myself 
a clean slate. Next I installed from test  mkinitrd-3.5.18-1. I then 
re-installed kernel-2.6.1-1.65 and voilla ... my system booted. Of 
course I ran into the problem that my mouse is gone, but I think that is 
in the archives too.
