Did have SMP working a treat a couple of weeks ago. This is on an older
Tyan Tomcat dual Pentium board. Then last week I updated my source
and rebuilt the system. The new SMP kernel couldn't stay up longer
than a couple of minutes. Then I built a non-SMP kernel and it's fine.
If I absolutely needed SMP I would stick with 3.0-RELEASE as found
on the CDROM (or a -SNAP made before the middle of January), or wait
awhile until it's working again. Howeber it may be related to my hardware
and it may be rock solid for you. I have Adaptec 27something PCI SCSI,
IDE drives, NE2000 PCI network, 128MB RAM.
Cheers.
