I've got a dual proc Compaq Proliant ML530 (933 PIII Xeon) server that
seems to be having trouble with SMP. Everything actually works as far as
I can tell, but some things look a little scary.

From mptable:

If I compile a SMP kernel I get:

Everything *seems* ok, but those messages kinda scare me. Has anyone
seen anything like this?
