Must be something to do with my kernel config or how I generate
the initrd with mkinitrd:  I tried vanilla 3.3.7 compiled and
installed with:

Copy Fedora kernel config to ./config
make -j8 bzImage modules
make modules_install
make install

(and fixed up grub2)
and it booted just fine.

Thanks,
Ben
