every one of our machines has 4gb of ram. so i don't think that's the problem. would you mind trying this kernel just once? http://ftp.quanstro.net/other/9pccpuf.gz # or other kernel name i made some changes that may help if the problem is in lapic identification & initialization. if it does work, we can figure out exactly what makes it work. - erik
