Subject: Anybody C440GX+ aic7xxx SMP ?

We plan to buy a second Xeon 550Mhz for the C440GX+ board.
Before we invest 1300$ I would like to hear if anybody is
running 2.4.x on this hardware without problems.
On a UP box with 2GB RAM, I run 2.4.3-pre3 + Gibbs' aic7xxx-6.1.7
+ stock eepro100. Anybody with SMP ?

If it is usefull for you, I'm running a SuperMicro P6DGU (400GX):

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX Host bridge
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440GX - 82443GX AGP bridge
00:07.3 Bridge: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 ACPI (rev 02)
00:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U2/W / 7890 (rev 01)

with 2xPII@400, 256Mb RAM. Bios version 3.1.

With 2.4.2-ac20+aic6.1.7. Just took away the scsi/aic7xxx from ac20 and
put instead the Gibbs version.

No problem.
