I've confirmed this. I usually run mm-sources, but there's a bug that manifests during fsck so I'm on development-sources for the time being. You can still run the kernel with SMP support, however. Just turn the number of CPUs down to 2 to save a little bit of RAM and there's practically no difference to a non-SMP kernel. Regards, Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
