The new SMP arrangement works great and the kernel boots fine on the machine, but I couldn't continue the install once I got past drive partitioning due to some missing devices related to the Promise IDE RAID array. So, as it stands, -RELEASE won't run in SMP and -CURRENT will, but -CURRENT won't install on my machine. Of course, I put all of about five minutes' worth of effort in to it... Any other ideas?
