Hi Zhu. Thank you for your information.

These are the results off the common uname and the rpm-db of the
system. It's a UP-system, but the XEON cpu looks like a SMP for
the kernel, afaik.

  HSIx235:~ # uname -a
  Linux HSIx235 2.4.19-64GB-SMP #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 23:48:22 UTC 2003 i686 unknown
  HSIx235:~ # rpm -qa | grep k_smp
  k_smp-2.4.19-340

So, I'm running release-level 340. And now that I know about it
I can see that the "supported" release is only 233 :(
Should I downgrade the kernel first of all?

XEON, see above. Are there only a few kernels that don't work
or ist the ...-233 the only version that is tested?

Thank you very much. I have included the SCSI information for the
second round of this.
