[Click] Is there a good "dumb-moron" guide to kernel mode?

Question: would the broadcom on-board NIC cause things to screw up as
well?  EG, should I just disable it and only have the Intel NICs?

Was Fedora Core latest, but using a vanilla kernel.  2.6.16.13 built with
click.

I think I may have screwed up something very low level early, because
its failing by "unable to fine device-mapper major/minor"


(I haven't done much kernel building etc).

What configuration etc have you used succesfully?  I can nuke and
reinstall this machine however I want.
