Kernel By Hand - tips needed

[Asko Kauppi]

The initrd question is the puzzling one.  Do I need it, or not?  What's 
in it?

What I'm trying to achieve is just a faster version of the 386 Ubuntu 
kernel, customized for Virtual PC emulated needs (so I do know all the 
hardware, very precisely even).  I'd like to change as little as 
possible, main thing is changing CPU to Pentium-MMX (686 kernel crashes 
for some reason, although VPC is 686 + MMX capable).
