Hi there, ok ok two questions: 1) Lets say I change the swap space on my Linux (Red Hat .. sorry) system...with a new partition...do I have to reformat the new disk with mkfs? If yes with what option ext2?? Because it doesn't let me use mkfs -t swap (<--if something like this exist...which I doubt it) If I don't reformat it it doesnt mount it... 2) Ok I have an overclocked dual Celeron 550 and I want to use an SMP Kernel. I use a 2.2 version of the Kernel by the way... I set it up with make xconfig activate SMP, E.Real Time CLock, MMPR (<- is that how it is called) and deactivate APM...but it still crashes at the startup (oopps crashes and stuff) at the point where it set ups the clock. I tried everything...deactivate APM from BIOS, boot with no-hlt, floppy=nodma, mem=4M everything...even put the processor speed back to normal.. what gives?? Can anyone help..??? Or should I just bin the PC and buy a game-Boy?

I wont bother with that question as it has already been answered.

You mean MTRR
that how it is called) and deactivate APM...but it still crashes at the startup (oopps crashes and stuff) at the point where it set ups the clock.

It lies in the RH smp-kernel...:) (For explanation read on) Acually, you've touched the problem yourself. When we installed our new computer (2xPIII@500) I made the mistake of overclocking the processors. (Mistake is not really the right term, as I got what I wanted and was allowed to install SuSE, because we thought it was a problem with the RH smp-kernel) Overclocking is fine when using only 1 CPU but when using 2 overclocking becomes troublesome, with oopses and panics... Short answer: Don't overclock smp-systems... /Mattias -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I am running SuSE Linux on a dual-Celeron300A@450MHz system here for 8 months now and I did not experience a single glitch at all.
