SMP kernels freezing console

[John Smith <netman1@home.nl>]

Hi All,

	installed a new box last weekend with a P4 630. Tried 2.6.8 and 
2.6.11 smp kernels, both freeze up the console. Box is still reachable 
over the net, restarting X and getty cleared things up, but the regular 
single cpu 2.6 kernels didn't show this behaviour. Right up untill the 
kernel start loading (grub), the (PS2) keyboard behaves normally. 

	Searched buglists, tried knoppix 3.9 2.6.11, (which worked and 
showed 2 cpu's), couldn't find a solution.

	Is this a known issue for someone or does this warrant a bug 
report? More information available on request. Machine is available for
debugging purposes.

Sincerely,

Jan.
