Yup,
I haven't been able to go Linux SMP with this board (stable kernels from
2.0.32 to 2.0.36)... it boots Ok, but locks a lot.
Surely sooner or later I guess it'll work, but right now, mine
doesn't... and I don't want to install a 2.1.x (alpha) kernel... well,
actually I didn't even get to compile the 12MB .gz 2.1.128 kernel
(didn't update all those utilities: ld, gcc...). I'll update them when I
have some time... maybe someone else has more experience with them...
