I'm using the k8-smp version. I'd try generic, but there is no generic
SMP, AFAIK (and having bought a >$500 dual-core chip, I damn well want
to use it!)
The problem I've always seen with > 2.6.12 is that after a short while,
either Ethernet or SATA (with the promise chip) dies. I've filed
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=347412 on this (a while
ago).
I'm sort of curious why you use -generic instead of -k8; unless, of
course, this is why.
Well, if you don't experience this problem, I guess I should try booting
w/o SMP support and seeing if its an SMP-only problem.

Why they heck would you do that... ?
