Why compile the kernel if you don't need to and there are space and
time considerations. It seems that if RPM's are provided they should
be the right thing. I had the same problem. Even though there are both
SMP and non-SMP RPM's for the 2.2.13-22 kernels, they are really both
SMP kernels. Also the -22 SMP kernel hangs on shutdown on UP systems.
Shouldn't uni-processor configurations also be able to take advantage
of the -22 fixes to the kernels?
Thanks, just my 2 cents worth,
Ron
