LDM runs fine on 2.4.9 source from ftp.kernel.org for SMP
2 SMP machines with ldm running 2.4.9
Didn't need to recompile LDM at all. Probably just redhat's buggy compile
or something wasn't selected that should have been. I agree with the
source compile. But then again I use debian instead of redhat. Its
better tho knowing what u compile into your system anyways in my opinion.

I cannot test the SMP version at this time, but I strongly recommend
compiling the kernel yourself, rather than using the RH RPMs for
anything more than an initial load.
Or such has been my experience.
I've seen and had some minor problems in several aspects of operation
(although none in LDM) with stock kernels from RH.
