I have a dual AMD Dell that I installed 2.6.25.17 into. It
produces severe FS corruption on a Serial ATA drive if I
build a kernel on it. I can build the kernel on one of my
SCSI drives with no problems.

If I remove one of the CPUs, there is no file-system corruption
so I fear that there is some lock missing somewhere in the
serial ATA driver code (ata_piix or sata_sil).

If anybody has anything to test with my setup, I can readily
test both with and without the two CPUs.


Cheers,
