I installed Severn on an HP ze-1210 laptop and a Tyan MP2466 dual

needed ACPI support to function well; both functioned well using Mandrake
9.1.
An "everything" install was done on both machines. Just a few quick
observations:
The Tyan MP2466 was unstable with Severn, random lockups, kernel panics, root
filesystem corruption, sometimes just a few desktop apps stopped working. Bad
mojo, I suppose. The problems reminded me of kernel problems with Red Hat 8
and Mandrake 8 last year. Mandrake 9.1 runs without problem on the hardware,
so it's back to that for now.
