I don't know. If there's no difference then it wouldn't be very
useful. :-)

There aren't too many alternatives at this point. One possibility is
to try booting a Fedora kernel on an Ubuntu system. I don't know if
that can work, but if it does then it would indicate whether the
problem is in the kernel or in the userspace environment.

You're welcome. (And I don't feel like a wizard; I feel like an
ordinary busy person...)
