I commented out the two lines you suggested and unfortunately not even in that way I have a working kernel. When the system tries to boot it just shows the lame symbol "|" and then after a few seconds it reboots. I'll go through the configuration file again and try to see if something was related to a symmetric multiprocessor. I wouldn't like to disable hyperthreading in the bIOS because what would be the point of having an HT processor? Any more ideas from your part would be highly welcome. Teilhard
