What is this kernal, and what does SMB stand for? You probably meant "SMP", not "SMB". SMP means Symmetrical Multi Processing. In plain English, it's a kernel for a system with more than one CPU. Using the standard kernel rather than the one with SMP support is the right thing to do on a single-processor system, which is almost certainly what you have. SMB stands for Server Message Blocks. It's a network protocol used by Microsoft Windows, and by the samba package for Linux. It doesn't seem likely to be relevant to your current problem. -- Mark J.
