I have a Dell GX100 SMP PIII 733 with a 3COM Ethernet, USR PCI modem, = and 2 18G SCSI disk. After problems with running 4.9 RELEASE on it, I am currently running 5.2.1 on the machine. (FYI I also have a uniprocessor = PII Dell GX1 running 4.10-RELEASE-p2, which I can do a native build on.) None of my machines have a full CVS repository, just normal source = trees. I mention this because it appears building a install environment (CD = Image) assumes local CVS access. I need to get a -stable kernel booting on the SMP GX100 again to = determine the exact issues; I have the second SCSI disk to install onto, but the = 4.10 CD install kernel won't boot because the serial driver sees the modem, = and (lacking the PUC device in the install kernel) commandeers the IRQ. The machine panics from what I think is secondary damage from the IRQ being unavailable. Since the kernel configuration screen doesn't allow = disabling PCI devices, there is no (console) workaround. Thus, I need to install on this machine either with a custom kernel or = cross building from the 5.2.1 installation on the other disk. Suggestions = as to how to do either? -ahd-
