FWIW, the stock 2.0.36 kernel in RH5.2 uses the v5.1.2 driver (which
gave me the same problems as 2.1.129 when compiled for SMP).
Anyway, the little patch you passed along did the trick, thanks
Albert! I now have 2.1.129 running in SMP mode with all four drives
correctly reporting 80MB/s. Four concurrent iozone tests (one on each
drive) now give r/w results of 9-10MB/s each. I can work with that.
