There is an issue with the MPS version setting in the BIOS. I had to
change the default to get error free performance on mine. Its been
awhile so I don't remember which MPS version to use now but a google on
MPS & SCSI will get you more info.
If you never plan on getting that second processor you don't need an
smp kernel, but the board rocks with 2 :)
