It sounds like some people are running into problems like this. Personally, I didn't have any trouble with my SMP SS10 back in August when I was at home able to test out 2.4 on it. Some people seem to be running SMP fine on their SS10s and SS20s. > Another problem I have is with swapon under 2.4 kernel.

Known problem, but there are higher priority things to be fixed. The swap still gets activated, so it's not that big of a deal. Regards, Rob Radez
