    Two strangeness noticed about 2.3.99pre3, otherwise all seems OK.

    First strangeness:

    The Makefiles don't seem to obey INSTALL_PATH anymore - it blithely
    ignores and installs the kernel and its map files to the root despite
    INSTALL_PATH being set to /boot!

    Second strangeness:

    I'm getting a lot of NMI interrupts - didn't happen with 2.2.x kernels.

    tahallah[root]:/var/log # cat /proc/interrupts
               CPU0 CPU1
      0: 22722 11028 IO-APIC-edge timer
      1: 1546 492 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
      2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
      8: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
     12: 747 81 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse
     13: 1 0 XT-PIC fpu
     14: 1090 1240 IO-APIC-edge ide0
     15: 0 2 IO-APIC-edge ide1
    NMI: 33720 33720
    LOC: 33640 33338
    ERR: 0

    Doesn't seem to be fatal though, but I remember getting this with the
    early 2.1.x kernels before being fixed for 2.2.x.

    System configuration:
