I had asked about that board about a year ago when deciding to order one or two
processors with it, all the responses I received back were favorable, and I bought two
PP180s, and have not had any problems with it. Also, Micronics != Micron (even
though the Linux SMP page seems to imply otherwise). Micronics was a seperate company
that is now owned by Diamond. ( http://www.diamondmm.com/ )

My guess would be that either you did not configure the kernel for SMP or did not
install the new kernel properly.
