The supplied kernel booted without the above switches suggesting those modules weren't compiled in and it used a lot less ram on startup than later kernels. Of course I didn't do a full backup of the system before I upgraded so I could be wrong but the switched did not appear in grubs menu.lst and I haven't checked this as I got it mostly working for me before discovering that it wont powerup automatically which means I have to modify my dining room to put it somewhere I can easily press the power button after one of our regular power cuts.
