correct. He should be able to use the linux-2.6 c3000_config file.

2.6 kernels and source tarballs are available here:
	http://cvs.parisc-linux.org/download/linux-2.6/

We currently do not auto-build a 32-bit SMP kernel and that's what
I suggest you try first. Grab the latest source tarball, tweak
arch/parisc/configs/c3000_config to enable SMP, and "make".

Note PARISC SMP support has only recently been fixed in our linux-2.6
tree (thanks jejb, tausq!) and hasn't been broadly tested.

But the same bugs jejb found still exist in 2.4 kernels.
Kyle McMartin is looking at back porting those fixes and could
probably use help with the N4K and "mb() in spinlock()" patches.

hth,
grant
