RE: [TCLUG:22868] cpu error

["Austad, Jay" <austad@marketwatch.com>]

At lilo type:
linux x86_serial_nr=0   (replace "linux" with a different kernel name if
necessary)

After it boots, put an append statement in /etc/lilo.conf for that option
you just added and run /sbin/lilo

Durons don't have the intel serial number baked into it, so it hoses up the
boot process.

Eh, no wordwrap.

I'd go into the kernel and, uh, whatever it's doing with serial numbers
now, make it the reverse (;

Might be way off, of course. Try building the kernel with liek a 386 as
the CPU type.
