Good.

edit the make file. Change the line:
make = make
to
make = make -j<num cpus + 1>

Yes, Linus was a complete dolt between 2.1.120-pp3 and 2.1.120.
He moved a function call. This broke smp on Pentiums (not PIIs like he
runs).
To fix it:
edit init/main.c
move check_bugs BELOW smp_init()
save and recompile.

Thanks for your feedback. I hope the above helps you (it will).

nope. We know about it. But please to report problems. If it turned out
that you were the only person using a P5 in SMP with 2.1 and didn't
report it this problem would continue into 2.2.

It's important for people to help out. That's what makes Linux so stable.

I think they are awesome too.

Would not be a bad idea. You can defantly lock Linux down more then you
can windows (so people can't munge the setup).

Normally yes. You need to run the output through ksymopps so that it makes
sence to us. The FAQ for this mailing list has instructions on how..
