You are right Ian, i should have set the EXTRA_VERSION variable in the
makefile before i did make modules... Anyways, I had the server reinstalled
by someone in the site who can at least manage to install a Redhat. The
server's in the US. I hope there's a way to provide SMP support during a
fresh Redhat 6.1 install.
Thanks.
Christie
