Re: [gentoo-sparc] LVM on sparc?

[Nick Smith]

well it is an e450 im working with but it only has 2.3gigs of ram atm,
so i shouldnt have to turn anything off.  does the 2.6 kernel support
SMP for sparc? IIRC when i tried it almost a year ago it was really
unstable or something. is that all cleared up now?
