Running an UP kernel instead is not an option (i.e. I can try it out, but I need both CPUs eventually). Any ideas? I looked in the archives, and found Tor Egge's fix. So, here are my questions: * does the problem affect anything else? I'm not at the console, so I can't be sure, but the machine appears to be very sluggish over the net. * why this fix is a kludge? what bad consequences can I experience with it, instead of the above? I should add to this that I have something like 10 affected systems, soon going to the production, so the answer is very important to me. In the light of upcoming RELEASE I think this is also something worth investigating. Thanks!
