Yeah, it worked. Thank you very much.

Now a question: why does it crash when SMP = 1 ?? Is it supposed to when
the machine is UP ?? I remember never having problems with SMP kernels
running on UP systems, at least up to 2.1.101 (which is the last one I
used prior to 2.1.103). Just want to know the reason ...

Thanks again for your help.
