Well, my question was rather whether i should basically mistrust that particular source tree (and re-roll that CD-ROM for the GUUG meeting again), or whether it's just a personal problem with my setup. In the latter case, it's not really important, i've only dug up that old Neptune board for a simple test. (It's our scratch machine at work, but there's usually only a single CPU in it, i have to ``borrow'' another CPU from another machine for testing.) What surprised me was that this SMP kernel crashed all over the place even on the board equipped with a single CPU only, while the kernel.GENERIC worked well with the very same hardware. I probably (unfortunately) won't find the time to track this into every detail right now. But maybe i'm re-rolling the bits for that CD-ROM anyway, so i will at least stuff the comment about the sysctl into my README.SMP there. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
