Hi,

I have just spent one hell of a weekend trying to get SuSE 5.3 to
install on
a machine which has a MegaRAID controller with three 9GB hard drives
connected. It has an Adaptec 7860 with a CDROM and Tape drive, and an
Adaptec 7880 controller which currently has no drives connected.

At first, the machine would crash until I disabled the 7880 controller
(wasn't needed in this case).

Getting a Kernel built that would support the RAID controller was not my
idea of fun, but after about 30 hours trying lots of different things, I
managed to get a Kernel built and to boot up while recognising the CDROM
drive AND the RAID drive. SuSE installed fine after that. If anyone
needs to
know the details of how to do this, get in touch and I will save you
some
work!

Now to my question...Has 2.0.36 fixed anything for SMP support? How
stable
is SMP for the 2.0.35 kernel which I am currently using? I have two PII
processors with 256M RAM (soon to be 512M) and the MegaRAID controller
must
work with SMP too. Anyone set something like this up?

Kieran

P.S. Any ideas how to re-create the setup floppy disk that comes with
SuSE
5.3?
