Hi,

With 2.2.16 My dual Celeron300A (FSB 66MHz) works flawlessly, merrily cracking
away with RC5DES for weeks on end,
But, when trying to upgrade to 2.4.0-test9, or 2.2.17, shit happens...

NMI watchdog detected LOCKUP CPU0
CPU: 0
EIP: 0010 : [<c88272f8>}
EFLAGS: 00000086
....A lot of other figures I didnt jot down
cconsole shuts up

This doesn't even make it to the logs. it only gives this message with the 240
kernel. with 2217 it just freezes, (no messages) though I can than still
emergency sync and reboot.

But the network seems to stay up, the leds on my cablemodem keep on flashing
normally. Also booting in single user mode (init 1) works normally.
I switched off every "experimental option" (had to convert my filesystems back
to ext2 (from ReiserFS) to do that...), switched off the framebuffer stuff, to
no avail.

Output of ver_linux script:

-- unusual then possibly you have very old versions)

When building a non SMP kernel, things started working normally again..
The above output was made when running a non-SMP-2.4.0-test9.

Thanks for having a look at this..
