Is anyone regularly running a 2.5 kernel?

I am playing around with 2.5.69 to try to see if it will fix a
USB problem that I have been having.  This is my first foray into
2.5-land so I could be missing something obvious.

I configured the kernel based on updating the config for a
2.4.21-rc2 .config and updating it from there.  The kernel
compiles fine, but it hangs on boot.  It gets as far as
"Uncompressing Linux .... Ok booting the kernel".

Any ideas on what might be going on?  I don't think that I left
anything crucial out of the config.  I tried compiling with both
gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95. Are there any tool chain gotchas that I may
be missing?  The machine is running Debian Sarge.
