Re: aha2840 aiee shuting down interrupts
I thought that might be the answer. If I build a custom kernel (no
modules, everthing built in) for the gateway machine on another
computer how can I replace the kernel on the boot/rescue disk that I
tried to use? Will the install then procede as normal, or is there
anything else that I need to do (If the install tries to use the
kernel from the CD to install as the boot kernel on the HD, then it
won't boot but will panic as before, so the kernel that I build and
place on the boot/rescue floppy MUST be installed on the HD as the
boot kernel.)
