Gordon, 

Two more thingys...

1. Don't "rpm -U" kernels. "rpm -i" them. The former *removes* the old
   kernel, making it hard/impossible to recover if something goes wrong,
   goes wrong, goes wrong....

2. I'm running 2.4.17 that I built from sources using the config for smp
   machines that's in the configs directory of Red Hat's version of the
   kernel. I.e. install the kernel-source-2.4.9-31 rpm and use
   /usr/src/linux-2.4.9-31/configs/kernel-2.4.9-i686-smp.config to
   configure a 2.4.17 kernel (gotten from kernel.org). (I didn't use
   2.4.18 because VMware didn't work with it, but there's no reason

I'm also running an ASUS CUV4X-DLS board with the lastest BIOS (1010)
and without MPS 1.4 support. Works great.
