Introduction
This HowTo describes how to get SME 7.x working properly on a Jetway J7F4 Mini-ITX motherboard. These motherboards are an extremely attractive option for builing an energy-efficient server. They have two Realtek RTL8110SC Gigabit LAN adapters on board, and are powered by a VIA C7 (Ester) processor at 1.2 Ghz (with passive cooling), or at 1.5 or 2.0 Ghz with active cooling. Unfortunately however, this hardware is not very well supported by the 2.6.9 kernel that is supplied with SME and CentOS 4. This document can also be used as an example of how to get SME running on any hardware that requires a modified or newer linux kernel.
