Nice. Can you perhaps run a benchmark e.g. a "./build.sh" run? My
P4 2.4GHz supports Hyper Threading, too. But I'm not sure if the
performance gain is worth the overhead caused by a SMP kernel.

That doesn't work for all the devices on my motherboard. The floppy drive
is e.g. only found via ISA attachment while ACPI works for the PS/2 port.
Kind regards
