Model = 2373-7FU
1.6 GHz
40 GB 5400 RPM Drive (as far as I know about the RPM)
1 GB RAM (SODIMM PC2100)

kernel 2.6.9-1.724_FC3 is running with 'few' problems.
kernel 2.6.9-1.681_FC3 used to run with almost no problems.
I tried the 2.6.10 kernels (build 737 and 741) and am not running very
successful. 737 would panic during boot up when it detected the SCSI
card (Adaptec SlimSCSI-1480 Cardbus card). After removing that as well
as the Belkin FireWire Cardbbus card, it still crashed - so I don't
think it's the card(s).
I have the internal IPW2100 card up and running so I can sit in theiving
room and watch TV while using the machine ;) - in 11 mbit mode801.11b,
not g).
The only other piece of extra hardware is a Logitech USB optical mouse.
Here is a listing of enabled services:

I'm not sure, how much trouble VMWare is - it's telling me when I start
it up, that it hasn't been certified on this kernel.
Thanks for any help...
