    Hai ,
      Finally I got it done. Now my woody shows 2 GB RAM &
    Dual cpu.

    I installed kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686-smp over
    2.4.28-bf2.4 and again recompile the kernel with the
    new config file and it works

    Thx to all for helped me a lot

    Wish U a Happy New Year 2005

    Sarav
