what cpu modules do you have installed? if you search the archive of this list, there will be one or two discussions about hypersparc modules in sparcstations. everytime i had the same conclusion: hypersparc modules that have more than 256k cache don't run in 2.4.x smp with x<=20. for me the problem was even dependant of the memory installed - with 16megs there was no problem, with more than 64megs the problems began. so if you say 2.4.21 runs on such configurations i probably should give it another try. thanks emanuel
