It should work in the "near future". As usual, 32-bit SMP seems to work but it's not well tested. > 2) I'm a bit confused on the whole 64 bit thing.

Right? 64-bit SMP didn't work for me. Otherwise, 64-bit UP works fine. But none of the workstations you listed above require 64-bit and thus I don't reccomend it unless you have more than 4GB RAM. > Or is that just userland? > Granted I don't think I have any real need for a 64 bit kernel, but just > wondering.

Just build them all into one kernel and it will work fine. grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
