recompiled kernel won't respond to boot-time args

turtle · 01-11-2003, 10:14 AM

Anybody ever get the problem where a recompiled kernel won't respond to boot-time arguments like "noapic" and "pci=biosirq"? The stock redhat 8 kernel (2.4.18-14) responds to those, but any kernel I've tried to compile (2.4.18-14 and 2.4.20) won't.

I'm beginning to suspect that it's some of the cflags I used (-march=athlon-mp -O3) but I'm not sure.

Any suggestions?

Or your leaving out support for them when compiling ??

I have the PCI option set to (any), and apic is enabled (both io_apic and local_apic). When I tried to disable any of the apic options, the compilation wouldn't go through. I should mention that I have a dual amd mp system on a tyan tiger s2460.
