Hi folks, I'm new to SUSE Linux so be gentle. I have worked with Red Hat extensively so at least I'm not a total newbie. I just performed an FTP installation of SUSE Linux on a box that I built from parts and the motherboard has a sis900 built in ethernet adapter. During the actual installation this worked fine, but when the newly built system booted up the card inexplicably stopped working. Some detective work later I figured out that the difference between the installation as the install used a non-SMP kernel and installed an SMP kernel on the box. Does anybody out there know what the magic incantation is to get the network card to work in an SMP environment or am I doomed to building a non-SMP kernel and running on that? -- :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Peter L.
