I /thought/ I had fixed this, since the system runs fine
on my (SMP, SCSI) test machine when I boot it with mem=8m.
Somebody on IRC suggested to me that this may be an UP-only

I have to admit some help would be welcome ;)
(I'm still at Linux Kongress and won't be back in the office
for about a week)
