Thanks, that confirms what I was told.

The 2.4 kernel is very long in the tooth these days, and my experience of
the mess RedHat made of backporting 2.6 SMP features into their 2.4 kernel
makes me very nervous if we might have to run a RH 2.4 kernel on a 8-way
Opteron. I really hope that the kernel doesn't come into it.
