So, the netfinity 7000 appears to be a quad pentium pro. While I haven't heard specifically about IBM systems, we boot on several other 4xPPro machines. Some of my smp development is done on a compaq 4x200mhz pentium pro. Bottom line: while I haven't heard of results on this specific model, the existing MP branch is known to work on similar machines and has a good chance of working as-is; if it doesn't, i'd like to hear bug reports. - Bill
