The recent SMP kernels often seem to need several subsystems built into
the kernel, rather than as modules:
SCSI (not necessarily the drivers, but the higher levels)
XFS
IPV6
Building them in makes THAT problem go away, though doesn't always
solve the issue of it crashing during boot for some other reason.
It should also be noted that the IPV6 module often causes messages about
per-cpu space problems and refuses to load because of it. No solution
known to me yet...
