I'd like to keep my two processors going... Newer kernels should do more than older ones, not less right?

    Hello,

    I'm running Debian 5.0.5 on an ACER Aspire with Athlon 64 X2 4800+
    processor.

    I used to run Fedora, but could not install that on this box
    (wouldn't boot)

    I tried other tastes, and landed on Debian with kernel 2.6.18-amd64

    Everything has been running beautiful, and I'm a convert - however:

    Newer Kernels ALL crash after bringing up the second processor,
    just after a screen message saying:

    ...
    [   0.232014] Brought up 2 CPUs
    [   0.232014] Total of 2 processors activated (9988.73 BogoMIPS)
    ___system freezes___


    Can someone please tell me which log a proper guru might need to
    see to be able to help me?

    I didn't want to bog up this space with 500 lines of Kernel log ;-P

    Thanks a million,


Hank J. van Leuvensteijn Jr.
