I dont think MDK 9.1 final kernel is out yet, because of atleast the SMP io-apic bug, and probably some others too... But here is the patch to dmi_scan.c - fixes the dmi_scan buildtime errors - disables local apic on all Compaq Presario 7xx series - added another Sony Vaio model... The SMP stuff is still under work / test ... Thomas PS. I'm having trouble with my ISP, so my mailserver and webserver is down so I cant host my testkernels for now... I'm reading the coocker list through the news.gmane.org, and posting through my ISP's own external mailserver... If you want to tell me something, you have to post to the cooker list so I can see it...
