Try logging in to the CPQ TestDrive machine and take a look at the kernel config that they are using. Also IDA_COOKU_MODE=2 sounds like it may help for your initial boot kernel. Once you have installed do not forget to copy the custom kernel that you compiled over to the hard drive from your boot floppy. Otherwise you will just have the plain vanilla GENERIC kernel and not your tweaked GENERIC+ida kernel.
