OK, Kernel installed, and boots into run-level 3 fine.  There are a couple of 
error messages logged about missing acpi modules (for specific laptops by the 
look of it).

Tried to install the NVidia driver and it complained about using the wrong 
compiler version, which I chose to ignore, but then failed before the compile 
stage with:

ERROR: The kernel header file
       '/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-18-rt/build/include/linux/version.h' does not
       exist.  The most likely reason for this is that the kernel source files
       in '/lib/modules/2.6.22.5-18-rt/build' have not been configured.

Can boot back into the default kernel without a problem, but am completely at 
a loss.  I know this is getting a bit off topic for the list but would be 
grateful for any further advice.
