Well the case you cited in your first mail turned out to be a GPM glitch,
solved by plugging in a mouse. Nothing to do with SMP what so ever. I have
yet to hear of any K7 cpu(s) that will _not_ work in SMP mode, care to
share a few real cases where that is the case? (ie all other factors ruled
out).
