2.4.24 or better, i think it requires.  i dunno, i didn't build the
installer in question.  some of the earlier (around feb.17 dailies) didn't
seem to work, but one from feb. 24/25 worked for me...

it isn't really a matter of kernel options so much as of having a kernel
that is new enough to detect the SATA controller properly and load
ide-disk.o without hard locking the machine.  I think that basically means
2.4.24 or 2.4.25 at this point, or a 2.6 kernel.  and the boot images
don't use 2.6 yet.
