All, I had FC1 working pretty well with the new motherboard (MSI 865PE-Neo2-PFIS2R), running purely Parallel ATA. Got it all installed and happy, and the hyperthreading on the 2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp kernel seemed to be working just fine. Then I plugged in my SATA drive, which works fine under Win2K. Now when I try booting with the smp kernel, the machine locks up hard (have to hit the power switch) right after failing the usb-storage insmod. It fails the printer insmod, then the scsi insmod, then the usb-storage insmod, then locks up tight. The funny thing is that I can boot just fine under the uni-processor kernel (though I have no idea how to get to the drive). I hear that FC2 is supposed to have better support for SATA. Is that true? I don't have so much configured yet in FC1 that it wouldn't break my heart to reload FC2 in a couple of weeks. Thanks! Ben
