I believe you will have to build a generic kernel.org kernel
configured without that support, something I have underway right now,
using 2.6.20-rc4. I was amazed at the number of options I found
turned on that a proper 'make oldconfig' should absolutely never have
turned on. My scripts take care of everything but grub.conf for a
kernel install, so when its done all I should have to do is reboot
since I'm already running 2.6.20-rc4. Several things I found may even
account for the apparent slowness of later kernels. Things like 15
seconds to launch firefox on an xp-2800 athlon with a gig of ram?

Gene,
Could you share some of these "Several things I found"? I'm having the
same problem with slow firefox launching on a very similar system. I'm
currently running vanilla kernel 2.6.19.2.
Thanks,
John
