One of the systems I complained about in my original post is a K6-2/350. I'll have to check and see which kernel the 7.2 installer puts on there. wonder if it's putting on a 686 or 586 kernel? I'd guess that a K6 may work better with a 386 version since it is NOT a 586 or 686, and its optimizations may well be different. > > > > It IS faster, though, now that I have upgraded the kernel to 2.4.9-12, > > > > and force the controler into ata66 mode! I'd like to find a RH-patched 2.4.14 or .15, so we can get the new VM. -- ---- Fred Smith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------- "And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
