Hi Joseph. I thought I would just add my voice/concern to yours. I am suffering from identicle issues as your self, and have also tried compiling the kernel from the redhat-source package using one of the provided config files, and modifying to provide SMP support. I have 2 PII 350 CPU's, and compiled the kernel appropriately. Below are some details for my system. ----------------------- lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX Host bridge (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440BX/ZX/DX - 82443BX/ZX/DX AGP bridge (rev 03) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ISA (rev 02) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01) 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01) 00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corp. 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02) 00:0d.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Live!
