I don't have any problems with uniprocessor on XFree 4.01, just smp mode and I think that its related to the sound module. When I recompile the 2.2.17-24 kernel with the sblive sound driver and no sound modules then the smp kernel works ok. Its only with the sound modules that the problem occurs. Also using the mandrake kernel-source-2.2.17-24 when compiling in the sblive driver, the sound does not work. If I use the kernel.org 2.2.17 source code, the compiled in sound driver works just fine. Mandrake 7.2 (and Redhat 7.0) kernels are both broken in this regard.
