Two strangeness noticed about 2.3.99pre3, otherwise all seems OK.

First strangeness:

The Makefiles don't seem to obey INSTALL_PATH anymore - it blithely
ignores and installs the kernel and its map files to the root despite
INSTALL_PATH being set to /boot!

Second strangeness:

I'm getting a lot of NMI interrupts - didn't happen with 2.2.x kernels.

tahallah[root]:/var/log # cat /proc/interrupts
           CPU0 CPU1
  0: 22722 11028 IO-APIC-edge timer
  1: 1546 492 IO-APIC-edge keyboard
  2: 0 0 XT-PIC cascade
  8: 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc
 12: 747 81 IO-APIC-edge PS/2 Mouse
 13: 1 0 XT-PIC fpu
 14: 1090 1240 IO-APIC-edge ide0
 15: 0 2 IO-APIC-edge ide1
NMI: 33720 33720
LOC: 33640 33338
ERR: 0

Doesn't seem to be fatal though, but I remember getting this with the
early 2.1.x kernels before being fixed for 2.2.x.
