The SMP doesn't matter, though; U2 with 2.6.x will freeze eventually even if a uniprocessor. SMP just lets it fail more quickly. Problem is believed to be SCSI or Sbus, I think, but I don't know that anyone is sure. The kernel people have known about this for well over a year, but no fix. For more current information, you might ask squash@xxxxxxxxxx or weeve@xxxxxxxxxx --- I haven't tried 2.6 on U2 for a while because no one has claimed to have a fix for this problem. (Gentoo spent a lot of time on this freeze a few months ago, but no satisfaction. I am sure, though, that we ruled out SMP as the problem.) > - Regards, -- Ferris McCormick (P44646, MI) <fmccor@xxxxxxxxxx> Developer, Gentoo Linux (Devrel, Sparc)
