I didn't think the GENERIC kernel would work for the original Qube because
of the serial console issue.  Besides - I really don't need SCSI support
or a bunch of other things on that box.  Just USB drive support and things
like samba, etc.

As I stated though the restore cd doesn't work with those boxes.  (I just
tried the 4.0 restore cd the other day.)

Huh.  I just remembered that I swapped drives in the Qube2 and that drive
was already installed.  I wonder if I can change out the kernel on it and
put that into the Qube 2700...
