Subject:   Problem with SMP in 3.3-RC

I have been running a 3.2-STABLE from around June 1st on my
Asus P2B-D with 2 400MHz PII CPUs (128MB memory) without any problems.

Yesterday I cvsup'ed RELENG_3 and now SMP doesn't work anymore.
Halfway through /etc/rc some severe memory corruption seems to occur
as all new processes core dumps immediately on signal 11. Finally the
machine locks up and the reset button it the only way out.
Same kernel without SMP works fine.

Looking through the commitlogs, I found the two entries below that
could be related. So I checked out a RELENG_3 src/sys from
1999/08/29, but that kernel failes in the same way.
Tonight I will try to compile and run an 
older RELENG_3 GENERIC kernel.

Does anyone have any idea of what's causing this problem?
Is there some driver that doesn't work with SMP?

  MFC: Intel 686 and AMD K6/2 memory range attribute support.  This merge
  brings all of the memory range attribute support from -current back to
  -stable, as requested by a number of folks.

  Bring back the rest of the changes required to make memory range support
  work on SMP systems.  Tested by various folks on the -stable list,
  thanks for their patience and support.
