I'm running a kernel from June 1 on mine. I have found a couple of odd things

With a custom kernel, from the time loading begins until the login
prompt, no messages appear on the display, which is a bit worrying,
you don't know what's happening. I assume I did something wrong in my
kernel conf, but I can't spot what it is

Cardbus isn't currently working - from dmesg:

cbb0: <RF5C475 PCI-CardBus Bridge> irq 9 at device 5.0 on pci2
cardbus0: <CardBus bus> on cbb0
pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0
...
cbb0: CardBus card activation failed

This also happened when trying a PCMCIA wireless card
