Comments/Problems:
 
Expert26 and Expert24 installation (to install SMP kernel version).  Test bed is a Dual Pentium-II 450 on ASUS P2B-DS motherboard with 384 megs of RAM, and *7* SCSI drives (one boot, six for software RAID 5) and CD-ROM on /dev/hdb.  First stage of install (llinux26/linux24) goes fine, but lacks SMP support.  Tried expert26/expert24 to gain SMP support.
 
Rebooted to start Stage 2 of installation (packages and the like), and neither expert26 or expert24 installation works.
 
Kernel 2.6.8-2-686-smp *disabled* support for de4x5 (Tulip - Netgear FA311 network card) and froze at stage of autoconfiguring DHCP.
 
Kernel 2.4.27-2-386-smp (sic) disabled support for /dev/hdb CD-ROM and could not proceed past apt configuration without cancelling out of apt configuration.  Tried to mount at second console at apt configuration point and /dev/hdb was "not a spcial block device".
 
Install via linux26 boot proceeds fine, but SMP support for second processor not available.
 
Kernel source as attempted to install after linux26 installation lacks SMP choice in menuconfig.
 
Kernel source downloaded from kernel.org insists on trying to use /boot/confg-2.6.8 file for configuration, prints a bunch of warnings, and then starts up.  I would expect this is not normal.
