Did you go through any special steps? ONCONFIG settings? BTW - I am finding that even though 2.6 kernels are not supported, there are several advantages with 2.6. I have been able to set BUFFERS to 700000. With SuSE 9.0 which uses kernel 2.4 I could not utilise all the memory on servers with more than 1Gb RAM and found that with BUFFERS > 360000 the system would not start. Also 'top' is more sophisicated and shows the wait time which I have only ever seen before on SCO or AIX. Ben.
