I got kind of side tracked before trying this and managed to wipe out my Linux setup. DOH!
However, it gave me opportunity to do a new install. This time I decided on Debian wheezy Beta 4 net install.
I used the 3.5.7 kernel to do the install and it worked perfect, it even used the 3.2.0-4 modules when it came time to reboot into the system, after which I copied the 3.5.7 modules over from a USB stick. And,,,it all worked with only the 6850 in the X1000.
I'm also happy to report, after some user setup, that the SBLive! (0220) is working great.
Yes, I finally got round to applying your patch... sorry for the delay!
I'll get back to messing about with the kernel in a few days, thanks again guys.
Let us know how it goes..
Regards
Darren

cat /proc/ikconfig/config
Change that to:
zcat /proc/config.gz
and it works. This is how I got the base config for my own kernel build.
Thanks for that.. I take it the patch I created applied OK then?

Of course my install creates more work for you guys. Sorry
(I have not got around to attempting this yet)
Guide v2.5.1.4

After the installation
I did the install with a ATI 6850 card, and glxgears is slow.
Again, sorry about that.

Sure did. Now I have a kernel with NFSv4, KVM host, and Wacom support.

OK!
Did, zcat /proc/config.gz > ./Public/357.config and got the file.
The patch worked just fine, good job.
P.S. Thanks for the mention in the patch file.

Everything stops at "Started Login Service (ok)"
Everything works well until that
Could it be an interaction with that I use the 3.5.7 kernel to install?
And? Does Fedora work with kernel 3.5.7?

I do not know. I gave up. I could not go any further. I could install but can not log in to the system.

Could you try to use fedora 17 with kernel 3.10.3-2-ubuntu? It works very well on my X1000.
Download:
kernel-3.10.3-6.17-2-powerpc-x1000-ubuntu.tar.bz2
