Using the smp installed kernel on Mandrake 7.2 on my dual Celeron BP6, after running for 1 to 10 minutes, the computer just stops functioning. The display freezes, the mouse cursor will not respond to the mouse movements, the keyboard gets no response and a ping from across the network gets no response. Using the up kernel, there are no problems except the lack of speed. Lilo has vga=788 for the smp kernel. When I set vga=normal or extended with the stock smp kernel, The computer freezes immediately on login. I tried to compile a custom kernel using the 7.2 source code, but the ipchains section has a bug and would not compile, so I took that out and with the resultant kernel the problem continued. Since my rh6.2 installed 2.2.17 smp kernel works fine, I compiled the 2.2.17 kernel from kernel.org and it works ok except the usb port does not work. I will try the 2.4.0-test10 tomorrow, in the meantime does anyone have any thoughts (constructive thoughts you perverts)? Thanks. Tom Berkley
