test5 boots now. Previously, test4 would not find my root device. VMWare modules don't compile, but there may be a patch yet on the web. Also, the atmel wireless drivers don't compile.

You could try the alternative atmel wireless drivers - at76c503a.berlios.de - they compile on 2.6 kernels :)

forgot to mention, that it is only the cvs 2.6 branch that compiles.

You can get them like this:

$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/at76c503a login
(hit return on the prompt)
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.berlios.de:/cvsroot/at76c503a co at76c503a
$ cd at76c503a
$ cvs up -r kernel_2_6

It's not an alternative. The driver on berlios.de is for USB, the driver in the kernel is for PCMCIA only.

Best place for VMware module patches I've found (from reading their internal newsgroups) is here:

ftp://platan.vc.cvut.cz/pub/vmware/

Latest patch level is 39, not sure if it works with 2.6.0-testX kernels or not. HTH.
