"correctly". Intel doesn't support this (mis)configuration:
especially with different steppings, not to mention models.

It adds confusion: do you imagine the poor soul who discovers hdlc in Linux
and sees ARPHRD_CISCO and ARPHRD_HDLC for the same use after some hours

Hi,
recently upgrading one of my two CPUs, I found kernel-2.4.2 to be unable to
handle the situation with 2 different CPUs (AMP = Assymmetric
multiprocessing ;-) correctly.
Some details on my system:
Dual BX board (DFI P2XBL/D), iPII 350 (Deschutes) + iPIII 850 (Coppermine)
Note: The difference

Summary: My system freezes *completely* when doing an INQUIRY under 2.4.x
kernels. SCSI card is a Tekram DC390. Only inquiries to the DISK device cause a
hang, others succeed.
System details: AMD K63-400MHz, 128 Mb RAM, 1 IDE drive, 1 SCSI controller
(DC390) plus (output of cat
