    Quite honestly if you want a user built "update" kernel it should probably
    work out the critical stuff (CPU, memory size limit, SMP) set a few things
    to safe values, and build all the driver modules.

    Why ask the user at all. The boot process already knows what modules to load
    Instead you get

    Checking...
    This is an X86 platform
    You have an AMD K6 processor
    Your machine lacks SMP support
    You have 256Mb of memory

    I am building you a kernel for an AMD K6 series processor with
    up to 1Gb of memory and no SMP. If you add more than 1Gb of memory
    you will need to build a new kernel
