 There is enough differences between grub and grub2 that I kept hosing 
 it until I realized that it is no longer (hd0,0) and now (hd0,1), so now 
 I got it working after a fashion...  I got some overruns from the 
 userspace latency tests (one overrun was about 1.8ms (not us, but ms).  
 This was with "acpi=off noapic lapic" boot args.

 Any suggestions?  It is likely that for the slow machine I plan to use 
 this will work, but I would still like to get the latency down if I can.

 I still was not able to locate the instructions for building a new 
 kernel and generate an initrd.  How did the package maintainers build 
 it?  Should I use initramfs instead?
