Hi! Sorry it took so long to reply to this, but I don't go where the machine is too much, and I've been busy lately, anyway, I repeated the tests with 2.4.9 both normal and smp. Just to recall things a bit, the machine is a dual procesor Sun Enterprise 3000 with 256 megs of run and now runs a 2.2.20pre6 from vger cvs with Debian testing smoothly. >> but today I wanted to test 2.4 again, so I got both the normal and smp >> versions of the 2.4.7 kernel on debian and I installed it. > Thanks for testing this.

Well, I hope this can help put some light in why this machine doesn't like 2.4 kernels but works ok with 2.2 ones. It always hangs when doing disk operations, I don't know if this could mean anything or not, you'll see more in the capture I'm attaching. Thank you for your job and your help with this!
