It sounds like some people are running into problems like this.
Personally, I didn't have any trouble with my SMP SS10 back in August
when I was at home able to test out 2.4 on it. Some people seem to be
running SMP fine on their SS10s and SS20s.

Known problem, but there are higher priority things to be fixed. The
swap still gets activated, so it's not that big of a deal.
