did not tried that yet. Although it is possible to miss something with menuconfig
I did diff the .config files without noticing anything obvious.

Meanwhile I have tried a few recent Fedora-12 kernels and none of them worked on 
this particular Atom Netbook with which I have never had problems before.
With the Fedora kernels the issue appears to be Intel graphics and it seems the boot
continued when I blindly typed the dm password.. so I will investigate further.
Last Fedora kernel that worked was 2.6.31 based, the 2.6.32.* I tried so far will
display a black screen.
