Then you can attempt an upgrade, but pay attention to your bootloader configuration, as the new up kernel will likely become default. I just read through the kernel.spec file for kernel-1.4.18-14.src.rpm, and it appears you should be able to build a kernel-smp-2.4.18-14.i586.rpm by running the command: # rpmbuild --rebuild --target=i586 --with smp kernel-2.4.18-14.src.rpm If this works as expected (I'm building it now) then install and use it. -- Chris Kloiber
