Hello,
 We, as all the universities around the world, must install a new 
linux called Scientific Linux Cern 3.03 , based on RH EL-3 with adds on ,
and I have a very hard time with this driver.
Thanks to http://members.rogers.com/sith.warrior/build.htm
I managed to prepare the driver for 2.4.21-20.EL.cernBOOT
and 2.4.21-20.EL.cern and both drivers are working well.
The only problem remains the driver for the smp , since we have 
Intel Xeon 2 CPU machines . 
I did build the driver as the others two, but it gives

Kernel panic: Fatal exception.  and the machine stucks.

For the BOOT driver I used configs/kernel-2.4.21-i386-BOOT.config ,
for the cern driver I used configs/kernel-2.4.21-i386.config,
but there is no i386 for smp, so I tried with
configs/kernel-2.4.21-i586-smp.config and with
configs/kernel-2.4.21-i686-smp.config, but both gave the same kernel
panic.
Can you help me , please ?
Thank you very much,
   Helen
