 1. State of Supported Hardware
 
-  UMAX s900

     The second processor on this machine boots up just fine and
     enters its idle loop.  Hopefully a completely working SMP kernel
     on this machine will be done shortly.

   BeBox
     BeBox support hasn't been added to the 2.1.X kernels from 2.0.X
