Compiling a kernel problems

Yes, I should have mentioned that I tried that, but there are just so
many differences that the comparison would be too difficult.

I even tried a 'make defconfig' with the addition of compiling in
directly support for the aacraid, initrd, sd_mod, and a few others,
and it still won't boot.

It's either a kernel bug or I'm missing something, like ACPI drivers,
or something else that it depends on.

Thanks,
Alex
