A few weeks back, there was a post about not getting sas to run on FC5
(at least, i386 architechtures). The final word seemed to come down to
whether the OS had support for (depricated) linux threads. I have just
re-installed FC5 from the iso files I copied perhaps a month ago. The
kernel version seems to be 2.6.15-1.2054. the text below is clipped
from the sas log file of a sucessful batch job run on that installation.
I re-installed FC5 because when I did an update of some parts of FC5,
sas no longer worked. So it would seem that 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 is on the
cusp of acceptability to Sas. That, or I would need to recompile later
kernels and see if I can include linux thread support, something that I
am not prepared to do.

I hope this helps the original poster, and doens't just add to
confusion. It seems, in summary, that you don't need to go back to 7.1
to get sas to work on the i386 platform.
