The newly compiled kernel gets through everything OK including mounting the root file system as read-only EXT3. However, it freezes on the very last line, which says:
Warning: unable to open an initial console
If I switch back over to the kernel that came with the distribution, everything boots fine, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the way I configured the kernel.
I ran "find / -name genromfs" which found nothing.
I feel like an idiot for posting this. I'm probably missing something obvious.
I have: * Pentium 3 * 256 MB RAM * PCI ATI Rage 128 Graphics Card * PS/2 Mouse * PS/2 Keyboard * Fedora Core 3
Thanks in advance.

If I switch back over to the kernel that came with the distribution, everything boots fine, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the way I configured the kernel.
I ran "find / -name genromfs" which found nothing.
I feel like an idiot for posting this. I'm probably missing something obvious.
you most likely forgot to setup or enable the initrd. You need an initrd in FC3.
(make install in the kernel tree will do this automatically for you, IF you enabled it in the configs)

it should not freeze; just wait a little bit...
which says:

/dev is empty without udev. When you do not need initrd, execute:
| # mount --bind / /mnt | # cp -a /dev/console /dev/null /mnt/dev/ | # mkdir /mnt/dev/pts
