no I have not gone to bugzilla as I wanted a second confirmation first. The boot image for smp does not have the drivers included. I was about to build a new boot image and see if that solves the problem. Single proc code boots and works just great. Also I need to get used to the changes as I've jumped from RH 8 up (current box) to FC3 so attempting to understand all the changes. Rebuilding a kernel is not a issue for me except for the time. Remember the 6.x days of doing it a lot for ipchains firewall patches, etc. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of David Cary Hart Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 12:43 PM To: Fedora Users' List Subject: Re: FC3 SMP builds do NOT contain ext3 drivers in the build!!!!

What makes you think that this is the problem? If, in fact, there is something wrong in the configs which I cannot see, you could easily rebuild the kernel.
