Forcing i686, ignore Athlon for Install of RHES 3.0

["Bryla, Bob J." <Bob Bryla landsend com>]

Because some mods I'm using aren't Athlon aware, I need to TURN OFF the Athlon recognition at either install time, or boot time -- just plain old i686.

 

I've tried rebuilding the kernel, using RH's instructions in the ref guide, but I still get kernel panics, and I'm still not sure if I've really turned off Athlon support!

 

But I don't think that just setting a switch at boot time will help, because the libs are still on the system and when I try to do 'insmod', it will still see the kernel parameters related to Athlon that conflict with the .o I'm using.

 

It's not obvious from the installer dialogue to tell the installer not to include any Athlon libs, only i686 libs...

 

So unless someone has a magical way to get my 'make' to work, I'd just as soon do a re-install and somehow make the installer unaware of Athlon XP...

 

thanks.
