I am having a hard time getting a SMP kernel compiled and installed on
this system.  Here are the system details:
Tyan S2257DUAN SMP motherboard
dual Intel PIII 600 procs
boot device is the motherboard integrated Symbios U2 SCSI controller with
an 18GB quantum Atlas drive

The system boots fine with a generic single processor kernel.

When I try to 'make' any kernel on the system (including GENERIC), the
make fails at seemingly random points with a "Segmentation fault - core
dumped" error.  

So, I compiled a fairly stripped SMP kernel on another 4.0 system and
copied it to this one.  I install the kernel and it starts to boot fine.
Then It hangs on: "APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interupt delivery"

I found some references to this error and a kernel patch for older
systems, but nothing that appears to work for 4.0.

Any advice would be helpful.  Thanx.
