Troubles running 686-smp kernels (both 2.6/2.4)

[dererk <dererk@madap.com.ar>]

Hi all!

I've a 2xPentium 166mhz cpu, and untill today I didn't realise to 
install a smp kernel to support it (it worked fine, but a bit slow), 
I've been running a 2.4.27-386 common one.

But, when I tried to install the 2.4.27-2-686-smp, once I choose it from 
grub list, It just, reboots automatically (it shows the firsts usuals 
lines until saying "Savedefault... Booting", when it reboots)... it 
happens exactly the same with a 2.6.8-2-686-smp one.

I would be pleased not to compile the kernel by hand... :-\

Thanks in advance...
