It may have something to do with MTRR being enabled on the SMP kernel --
when I enabled MTRR on my laptop once upon a time (hey, the help says it
won't break anything;) my PCMCIA netcard kindof refused to work properly.
What I'm getting at is if this i7500 has trouble aith MTRR it's
conceivable that other boards may too.
Maybe this justifies coming out with 2 mdksec kernels, an SMP and a
non-SMP.
