I stated the wrong information.
The info at the bottom is from the *non* SMP kernel.
(the SMP kernel won't boot because of the problem stated)
My machine actually is a dual cpu.
So I assume the problem lies in some deadlock or
a simple misconfiguration on my part.
Other info:
~ # cat
/etc/network/interfaces
[root @ gobbles]
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface

iface lo inet loopback
# The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian
installation
