And just to make it even MORE bizarre, the only thing ATI in my system
is the CPU.  The motherboard has a NVIDIA chipset on it, and my video
board is NVIDIA as well.  So why it's even *thinking* about Radeon, I've
got no idea.

*blink*  You need to run Lilo again after running the mkinitrd program?

Ok, not that I'm expecting that to make any difference at this point
(given the luck I've been having so far), but I'll give it a shot.

Well, I certainly appreciate the help and information that you've
offered so far.

You know, if I *do* have to go the "reinstall the $#@!ing thing from a
DVD route because this current kernel has no way of dealing with xfs at
boot time, I just *might* consider doing a clean start and trying that
other Mandriva-like distribution.... :-)  (I'm sure that statement will
give David Boles no end of amusement.... <grin>)
