Xserve problem

[Allori Lorenzo]

Thanks Atro for anwering my question,

the kernel i'm using is the default kernel of YL 3.0.1 Sirus,
i did'nt recompile it because i do not know very much the xserve hardware
so it is the 2.4.20smp precompiled that i found on the YL CD.

Are you using the G4 XServe version?
If you are using it, do you think you can send me your kernel allready
compiled? It will be very much apprecieated.

Thank you very much,

Lorenzo
