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.
