That was suggested earlier, and I reported that it threw all kind of
wierd missing interrupt errors, finally giving up on mounting the disk,
and dropped me into busybox.

What do you mean by 'invasive'? Affects too many areas of the kernel?
Too much of a bear to test?

DOes that include an SMP kernel? All the *buntu distros I've used before
do no CPU hardware detection, and just install the default 386 kernel.
How would a 'live' CD anyway detect the PIII and switch to the 686SMP
kernel mid-boot?
