[Nottingham] Still no luck with 2.6-test5

Greetings all,
	I've been fiddling about again trying to make the 2.6 be alive, but still 
with no success. I am not using an initrd, so I don't think that's the 
problem (but thanks for the suggestion Godfrey). I think I know what the 
problem is; the trouble is I do not know how to solve it. I get the following 
messages when booting my 2.6 kernel (I had to boot in a virtual vmware 
machine in order to get the exact log messages out of a memory dump, but I 
still experience exactly the same problems in the virtual machine as I do on 
my real one):

hda: VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive, ATA DISK drive
hdb: VMware Virtual IDE CDROM Drive, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14

So we definatly have ide/harddrive support okay

The odd part is here, just before it hangs:

UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/lowlevel.c:65:udf_get_last_session: CDROMMULTISESSION not 
supported: rc=-22
UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:1471:udf_fill_super: Multi-session=0
UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/super.c:459:udf_vrs: Starting at sector 16 (2048 byte 
sectors)
UDF-fs: No VRS found
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on hda2

The really wierd part is, according to my kernel config, UDF is not compiled 
in to the kernel:

CONFIG_UDF_FS=m

But XFS (my root filing system) is:
CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
CONFIG_XFS_RT=y
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y

And yet I do not see a single message about XFS in the entire bootup sequence 
(Although, I do in my working 2.4 kernel)

Do you think it is possible that the build system has its knickers in a twist 
and is building UDF into my kernel instead of XFS?

Any thoughts/comments appreciated!
Kind regards,
	Philip
