Hello all,
I've done as Alexander has suggested:
added a boot option in /boot/grub/menu.lst

I can live single processor for a while. So yes reduction of severity is
okay for me. But, I'm thinking that there are a number of k7-smp servers
that are the truck horses of various clusters (esp. universities and
small research groups) who mayn't tolerate the loss of utility.

Hello Steve,
uptime with "nosmp" so far: 57 min. Everything runs fine and
smoothly. Of course overall system load is about 5 percent (average)
to 20 percent (peak) higher than usual - man, i do love and miss
smp.. :D
Just kidding, i can easily live happily either with "nosmp" or
parti

Hello,
Um, not exactly helpful; you're now reporting a bug at a severity
that makes
it a release blocker, at a point where the final kernel for etch r0 is
supposed to already be uploaded and there is limited time to consult
upstream about it. In the future, please report such bugs when you

Exact same problem here! Has been for 3 months. Ubuntu2.6.15-28-k7 is
okay as were the -16 series kernels (did not try -17's). I now have to
go back to 2.6.18-4-i486 to get it to run and live without smp (I wiped
the -16-k7 stuff out [stupidly]).
