It sounds like you are going to a huge amount of effort compiling 
kernels here.  Why don't you use vendor kernels?  I've found the debian 
ones to be quite sufficient for most uses, and using them saves a lot of 
time (and risk in screwing up).  I know lesser distros don't provide the 
same range of kernels, but I'm sure whatever you are using must have a 
recent mainline 2.6 with what you need?
