Changes to defaults for Kernel 2.4.20 (attempt 8)

Submitted by evanw on 15 January, 2003 - 03:40.

This is a complete listing of the eighth version of changes I made to the default options for Kernel 2.4.20 to get it to work on the Fujitsu Lifebook P2120. This kernel attempt, boots fine but without Ethernet, USB or Power Management working (there were only minor changes to the second, third and fourth attempts and neither even booted).

I had neglected to specify the correct CPU type (Curseo) in Processor type and features in attemptsprevious attempts, which is why none of them booted.
