New slinky images are available.

Something's changed in the kernel, and I haven't had time to figure out 
what it is. The root filesystem used to be writtable, now it gets mounted 
read only. That's no good for what we are doing. If anyone has any ideas, 
I'm all ears. I included a copy of the kernel config in the above 
directory.

We used to get a message: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)
Now we get:
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly

I reverted back, changing only the kernel on the boot disk, and the 
problem went away, so it is a kernel change for sure. Also, using the old 
config file, and running make oldconfig, saying no to all new options, 
and the kernel grew by over 50k. Trying to configure it beginning with 
the RedHat stock boot kernel config, it grew by 125k.

It's already hours past when I had intended to call it a night, so I'll 
hope that someone answers this before I get back in front of this machine 
tomorrow night. ;)
