embarrassing to reply to one's own posting ... the lack of success on the Mac Pro and the Dell Precision was "pilot error" - I installed the i386 kernel on x86_64 machines !
depending on the tree installed, the i386 kernel should work fine, as long as the underlying distro is mostly i386 as well. Also, using yum with a sane baseurl= line will prevent such issues :)
After fixing this, I find that the new kernel works well on the Dell. I didn't have time to test the Mac Pro, but the boot messages looked ok on a quick check.
cool :)
