I've got a Dell 670n that I want to install fc3/64 on but I get a
kernel panic when the installer loads the ata_piix kernel module. I
can somewhat continue after the panic but installation hangs soon
after.

I can boot the current x86_64 boot.img in the devel tree and that
works fine but when I point it at the non-devel fc3/64 tree, it won't
install that. If I use the standard fc3/64 boot disk with noprobe, I
get no keyboard so I can't continue. I want to run fc3/64. What's the
best way to get a newer kernel in an installer?
