Hello Javier,
I run some Intel pentium II with 233, 333 and 450 MHz with
2.4.26-1 and now 2.4.26-2. All two are working very well.
I have downloaded the new sources 2.4.26-4 and compiled it for a
FileServer (nfs, samba, netatalk, courier, proftpd, apache) and
the server has a very high load, because I compile via network.
It works very well...
Maybe you have a problem with your Hardware ?
Greetings
Michelle
