I use a 2.6 on a A440 and B180l and a C3600. I remember having trouble with a J5000 but it was some time ago and I guess my problem was the SMP enabled. I'd like to use it on my D270 and on a K360 but there are scsi problems atm. They both suffer of the same problem described by Joel Soete. Also, a gentoo user wasn't able to boot a 2.6 on a 735/120. Palo (1.5) display "If it's the last message ..." and nothing more while it works well with a 2.4. I'll try myself later on my 735/99 which is down atm. I'd like to add that despite the scsi problem, I can't still produce livecd (the gentoo installation cd) using 2.6 because of the numerous default config. If I remember correctly, if I enable some HIL stuff, the kernel loops or crash at boot on my b180l. > If you are one of those people who really care about 2.4 support, > please speak up now!=20 Personaly, I don't care about 2.4 even if 2.6 doesn't have SMP. With a 2.4, my D270 compiles things slower with SMP than without. I also have other problems with SMP like packet loss to localhost, making portmap and other socket dae=F9on unusable. hth --=20 Guy Martin Gentoo Linux - HPPA port Lead / IPv6 team Lug Charleroi (Belgium) --)mMqyb=.pN=f?,L?
