The UP (non-SMP) GENERIC kernel of a lot of 3.0-xxxxxx-snapshots, 2.1.5, 2.1.7 all booted and ran okay on my GA586DX boards without any problems at all. I haven't tried by 2.2.x but I'd put money on it working as I've tried enough 3.0 snapshots from before and after 2.2.x which all worked fine with one processor. I expect someone has used 2.2.x, but if no-one gives you an answer I can try it for you, but I'm pretty certain it will be fine. I'm not selling a warranty with that though ;-) Steve -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd. Tel:+44(0)117 9730597 Home:+44(0)976 241342 WWW: http://dylan.visint.co.uk/
