actually, i've never had problems with the 1.3.37 kernel, but my attempts to
move up to 1.3.7x and higher have all been terrible.  My 486 was less than a
year old, and was a PnP PCI bios, so I don't think there's all that much
difference with the new one.

I actually do run stuff that won't work well with a 1.2.x kernel.

when I ran the "make config" script I was actually expecting the next
question to be "586 optimized", which is why I said "no" to 486 optimized.
the kernels i've been running for the last (almost) year have been 486
optimized.

: *grin* nice machine,.. 

its half decent.  I'm wanting to upgrade the Mach 32 to something a bit
better.  64bit, with 2 megs of ram, but i'm a little low on cache.  Getting
up to a Pentium MB was the first requirement.

A second NCR SCSI controller will possibly be next, so I can put my news
drive on a seperate SCSI bus.
