First off I have to say your firewall product is a very nice package I
tried it out the other night on a new machine [Dell Poweredge 850 Intel
dual-core 3.0ghz machine].

Comment:) The serial console hang is still there in the 2.0 code. I had
a real monitor/kbd/mouse attached and unless I hit a key on the keyboard
before the grub timeout it would fail to boot. The obvious quick
workaround was to comment out the terminal and serial lines in
grub.conf. Later on I went back changed it to the more traditional setup
like so

serial --unit=0 --speed=9600 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal --timeout=10  console serial

and then adding "console=tty0 console=ttyS0" to the end of the kernel
line. No problems after that. [I used 9600 only because the Dell console
could not to 34600 so I went down to the old standby.]

Question:) I've seen some questions posted about SMP support, there
seems to be no hard answer about when this is coming. All I saw was
there are some stability issues which seems odd.  I'm just downloading
the source packages to take a look at it. My question is this, is the
endian kernel a vanilla kernel from some one else's sources? 

It looks like it might be from RHEL at least the version is very close
to what is in 4.3. It would be very slick to use a vanilla kernel so
security updates would be a simple matter of rpm -ivh http://foo

Just now I tried installing the lastest SMP kernel from the Centos and
it failed of course [I forced it with a --nodeps, after the initscripts
package was flagged as problem.] It was a good try and let me know that
it was not going to work. It booted as far as trying to load the scsi
modules then died.... 
 

Feature Request: You need raidtools installed so we can do RAID1
mirroring at least. I might try to install this but I suspect it will
fail also.

That's it, thanks for the hard work if nothing else I appreciate monster
amount configuration you put into these packages to play nice.
