B) the SMP kernel is not installed unless a multiprocessor system is detected, and by your system specs, your system is not a multi processor system. Description from the SMP kernel rpm: Description : This package includes an SMP version of the Linux kernel. It is required only on machines with two or more CPUs, although it should work on single-CPU boxes. There seems to be some very odd hardware issues that you have, that only work with a SMP kernel. Perhaps you and the Red Hat kernel maintainers can work together in figuring out this issue. Did you purchase Red Hat? If so you do have a period of support with Red Hat, and I suggest you use it. -- Jesse Keating j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
