Speaking of kernel flavours (we weren't, but what the hey); is the plan
still to reduce all of the x86 flavours down to two: generic x86 and
generic x86-smp?
I can recall quite a number of incident where i've moved a disk from an
athlon k6 to k7 (and vice versa) and found random failures until I picked
the right kernel package. It'd be nice if the choice I had to make was do
I have multiple CPUs or not (actually, I'm not even sure why that is
necessary -- why not build SMP all the time?).
Cheers,
Anand
