I assume you are using the machie I lent you ? that does indeed have a rev S
strongaem in it so thing should work properly.

I had a number of people erport that they can boot with 2.4 kernels (~2.4.5)
but not 2.2 kernels (~2.2.13), so on the whole I'd favour 2.4 for the default
unless we find something very bad. It's also necessary for kinetic support,
should anyone ever get round to it.
