Red Hat for one basically avoids ISA probing in favour of user guidance. We also use a standard kernel build and the more I think about this the more I think Erik's tool is trying to be too clever and should simply build a complete kernel set for the right cpu with the root fs and root fs block device built into it - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
