I'm paranoid. I do "make distclean" when doing anything other than adding/removing drivers. Save/restore the .config if you need to before running "make distclean". I don't trust the Makefiles to rebuild everything correctly for "global" CONFIG_ changes like "SMP". > The strange thing is that the precompiled smp kernel from the install cd > boots fine. (2.4.18-smp) SMP on 2.4.19 isn't as stable yet. So that's no surprise. If you want to debug this further, define "EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG" in arch/parisc/kernel/pdc_cons.c and you should get more output about how far the kernel gets before it crashes/hangs. grant
