I have tried it both with and without kernel configuration changes. When I do make changes I generally delete all the scsi controllers and all of the ethernet controllers. I only do this so it won't try probing a bunch of stuff that I don't have. The furthest I have ever gotten is the point where you select the distribution kits you want. I would begin the process of selecting what I want loaded and then the system would die and reboot. The earliest it has ever died is immediately after uncompressing the kernel. -- David H.
