Yes, I also include a part of my .config (the CPU part). I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX-301 Laptop / a AMD K62-based desktop. I concentrate on the laptop though it does not work with both computers. The Laptop has an 800 Mhz Mobile Duron Prozessor (powertweak segfaults with this processor, but that's another story...) with 256 MB RAM and 10 Gig IDE 2.5" hard disk and 8xDVD-Drive. More info from 2.4.16 Kernel output (dmesg, incomplete): Local APIC disabled by BIOS -- reenabling. Found and enabled local APIC!
