Howdy,

Just installed my Dell Precision 420 (dual processor) using the sipb
athena install.

Things went well except for:

- The X setup did not quite work.  First off the Redhat graphical
  install never did work.  So I did it using the text based mode.

  - After the install I got the display RPM from Dell which works
    fine.

- More importantly I never could get AFS working with the SMP kernel.
  After looking over the /etc/rc.d/init.d/afs it seems as though the 
  code tries to load the module
    /usr/vice/etc/modload/libafs-2.2.14.mp.o
  (after correctly determining that the kernel was smp).
  This module complains that it was not built for the current kernel
    vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0smp

   - I also tried booting using the UP kernel.  In this case AFS
     worked fine.

Any advice on this second issue would be appreciated.

Thanks...
