    machines can specify the noapic option.

kernel-image-2.4.17-i386bf (2.4.17-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * recompiled with pure gcc-2.95, fixes pcmcia incompatibilites
  * all USB stuff is modularised now. There was too much trouble and
    hocus-pocus on trying to make it work as built-in driver. Since kernel 2.4
    seems not to reset the legacy keyboard emulation, this problem is SEP
  * more Ethernet drivers built-in
