I did have hard crashes with the mdk smp kernel on my Abitt bp6 smp
celeron.
I set up my own .config, but used the src.rpm with all the patches. I
incleded the r128 module, which could have been the problem.
With a kernel from tar.gz i didn't have any problems.

Also, my X Window just kept crashing down.
Switching from windowmaker solved half my problems.
Compiling XFree86 4.0.3 from tar.gz solved them all, seems after one
week.

My idea is that i love Mandrake's distro. But i don't trust my kernel
or X to Mandrake. I will build that myself.
