I'm writing this on a W6LI with two PPro 180's. This motherboard has worked
just great for me for about a year now. SMP has worked with every kernel I've
tried from 2.0.3x, many of the 2.1.xx, and all of the 2.2.xx kernels.
I'm currently using Debian 2.1 with kernel 2.2.6.
I would suspect that you are somehow still booting your non-SMP kernel. Do a
'make bzdisk' to put your image on a floppy and then make sure your machine
boots from it so that you can be certain which kernel its using.
