sorry - probably you already answered, but our mail-server dropped several

I just installed a IBM Netfinity 5500 with 2 Pentium III and IBM Raid
Controller.
Now I see a WARNING: MP table....
Do i have to make a BIOS update?
Do i have to update the RAID-Controller?
Is it safe to Compile the Kernel as a Pentium PRO AND SMP?

This system sould get as stable as possible...
Thanx a lot

Sven
