I tried it, and so far I haven't succeeded.

The first attempt, with fbcon, died early.
The boot messages got to:
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (00:00)
and then it hung.  Plain 2.6.9 continues with 
PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00)
ACPI: PCI interrupt routing table ...
and so on.  Ruby did not continue.

I tried disabling fbcon by not compiling it.
That used to work with ruby 2.6.8.1.
I got past this point, the framebuffer initialized, and
the pc hung sometime after that.  Neither keuboard worked,
no numlock LED and not even sysrq+B.

The next attempt will be a kernel without framebuffers,
I don't need those to run X after all.  I'll try without
vgacon too if necessary.

Please tell if you have any ideas about how to debug
this or anything else to try.
