not to tweak options...

<para>A good starting place for setting up the kernel configuration is to

into account.</para>

is not too different from the version of the kernel you are building,
this will set the base configuration to a good state similar to what
the host uses. Another possibility is to use <command>make

into the kernel.</para>

which creates a more generic configuration for your architecture. You
may then have to disable drivers for hardware you do not have if
you want to reduce the kernel size.</para>

panic on boot if x2APIC is enabled by firmware. This option
has no effect, but also does no harm if x2APIC is disabled by the
