I had that problem too. Someone sent me a patch for a kernel, but,
not knowing enough about how to use it, I haven't yet. The solution
(that *I* found) was to boot with a "noapic" option at LILO. It
complains, but at least it boots. But I've got other problems which
keep me from booting to SMP on my Dual-200 PPro board.
