legacy will not work either .. although we might
be able to work around that in the future

EM64 is a INTEL Xeon/woodcrest with 64bit extentions.
These systems use a shared bus for there CPUs. (no NUMA)

a AMD dual Opteron system uses NUMA. (both for single and dual core)
a single AMD Opteron dual core doesn't use UNMA.

A personal record: 2.6.18.2 is the only kernel that ever trashed my reiserfs.
I have been beating on 2.6.18.3 for over a week now with no problems found.

I do not have a clue to that question.  Someone on the list that is running
