To check if your kernel is preemtive, simply do something like this: $ grep PREEMPT /boot/config-2.6.8-miami-16 CONFIG_PREEMPT=y Of course, you will need to substitute your actual kernel version. If it says `n' then you don't have a preemptive kernel. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
