When I tried with SMP on, it didn't complain about filesystems.c nor
sched.c but compiling modules failed miserably...
then... 2.0.30 (for sound; hasn't worked in 2.1's since 2.1.17 or something)
at the first tries make dep failed around the second file... something
about some .ver ... don't remember exactly ... after that I nfs mounted
the 2.0.30 dir on a clean (and slow) RH4.0 box and make dep'd once...
after that the make dep didn't fail... but compile did:

... I had compiled 2.0.30 earlier on that slow (i486) puter for that slow
puter ... 2.0.30 would be nice for this puter as 2.0.29 gets boring...(sound)
