custom bootdisk for installation?

[Steve Tremblett]

I'm trying to install 5.2.1 on my Thinkpad T30, but it completely
freezes when the kernel is booted, specifically at the cardbus driver.
I guess there is no kernel configuration before booting as it was in
4.X?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to alter the bootdisk?  I
believe I might be able to workaround this issue by changing the hint.*
sysctls for cbb, but otherwise I will need a kernel without the
driver.  I have a 4.X installation at my disposal, but I haven't had a
chance to check out the bootdisk contents yet.

thanks
