What if I want to install Red Hat 9.0, running the installation itself on a kernel other that the one supplied? Is there any easy way?
The obvious (?) way is too take the boot.iso and change the kernel image and modules in it. I'm not sure that will work 100%, but that's a start.
The reason I'm asking this is that there is some PCI device on my laptop that the kernel doesn't recognize (HP Tach TS Fibre Channel Host Adapter), whose entry is reported as redundant (!), but it's listed (/usr/src/linux/drivers/pci/pci.ids) on a newer kernel.
And the installation gets stuck as soon as some input is needed from the keyboard.
I will probably not need this for my own purposes, since everything seems to run fine when I use the COM port as console (console=ttyS0,9600n8 as kernel parameter), so I'll install in console mode, compile a new kernel in console mode, and so on. Ugly, but probably the easiest way.
But the academic question remains...
