    Do it step-by-step.

    git checkout v2.6.15
    make oldconfig
    git checkout v2.6.16
    make oldconfig
    ...

    I can recommend that you try another distribution then.

    What specific modules and which order do you need for the disks?
    There is also kernel-side loading order coming up:

    >and are difficult to configure

    I do not really have to configure anything on my machine. Then again,
    yours might be vastly different. I can seamlessy switch distro and
    self-built kernels, with the only extra that I have to call mkinitrd
    (on opensuse that works without arguments even) for the self-built one.

    >(demanding crap that demands udev to edit their initrds).

    mkinitrd should take care of that.
