Hi,

I've been running smp on that same board with "reasonable" success. I do get  
the occasional (once every few days) lock-ups, but it was getting better. My  
kernel is from Feb 28 12:27. After that I can't compile a kernel, getting a:

mp_machdep.o: Undefined symbol `_Xforward_irq' referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1

during linking the kernel. I haven't seen an answer to that problem yet.

Best regards,
Ben
