They have lots of additional patches and backported 2.6 features. Paul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

One reason it's not going to work for Debian is that we decided not to support a 2.4 kernel, that also means there was no reason to keep linuxthreads in glibc. So our glibc only works on a 2.6 kernel. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can run your Opteron in 32-bit mode, but that would've made your smoking Opteron setup into an expensive 32-bit machine :) As for 64-bit Linux 2.4 kernels on Opteron - forget it. You're encounter more problems than you'd want to wish for given that setup. I might be missing something obvious here, but I'm using a cluster running dual Opterons with the "2.4.21-27.ELsmp" kernel. It's a Rocks cluster based on Red Hat, but I don't see why it wouldn't work for Debian systems. AFAIK, a lot of stuff has been back ported to this one. No SATA though. Also, this was just an example, there could be even "better" Opteron 2.4 kernels out there. Don't know about ready-made Debian kernel packages, but at least there are source RPM's.

kernel 2.4 for opteron?
hi we just recently had kernel panic with 2.6.8. we had similiar things earlier with our xeon boxes, and then - downgrading to 2.4.27 helped. is there anywhere apt repository with 2.4 kernel-images built for opteron smp? i can build it myself, but i'd prefer using ready made kernels. depesz
