Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.8-13
Followup-For: Bug #268208

Hi

This is one of a pair of identical sarge production servers installed in
December 2004.  The single processor kernel works fine but at the time
of the original install and this evening, I haven't been able to get the
smp kernel to boot.

Using grub, I select the kernel and it starts to boot but stops
immediately after the line in the subject above.

It would be good to get these servers using both processors ;)

Regards

Clive
