I couldn't get through a build of the kernel. I ended up booting into the UP kernel, got and built the 2.4.9 kernel, and have not had any trouble since. For the processor type, I selected athlon, that enables the optimizations you are talking about right? System specs: dual Athlon MP 1.2 Ghz on Tyan's mobo with the dual ethernet and u160 scsi, 512 megs corsair cas 2.5 registered pc2100 ddr sdram, and seagate's second generation 15,000 rpm cheetah, using the NMB 460 watt power supply that tyan recomended.
