I'm having reasonable success using the i586 kernel - no kernel rebuild or other options. I've also turned off many of the unnecessary services, following some of the hints at http://kerneltrap.org/blog/keithmo Replacing the i686 kernel with the i586 version wasn't too tricky, but I couldn't replace one with the other directly. Instead I did this: * install kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3.i586.rpm from the updates * reboot, selecting the 2.6.9-1.678 kernel from the boot menu * remove kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3 (the i686 one) * install kernel-2.6.9-1.681_FC3.i586.rpm from the updates * reboot again -Mark.
