You might need initrd or make sure "ide" is configured
in your kernel.

Do you have /dev/console and /dev/null in /dev (not udev's files, but
spec files on /dev/hda6), this is known problem on fcs.
read http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xslaby/unpr/kernel.html, it's all in
czech, i haven't translate it yet, sorry, but find mkdir /tmp/dev

fedora core basically makes an initrd mandatory (udev and all); if you
had used "make istall" it'd have been set up for you fully automatic
including the bootloader
