That sounds great, but on my machine (2xP133, 32MB, aic7880) 2.1.111 does
not even boot! I get a nice series of messages "stuck on
smp_invalidate_needed IPI wait CPU #1". I got one or two of those messages
when booting 2.1.110, but everything else worked fine (though it was a bit
unstable when there was heavy ethernet traffic)

Running 2.1.108 currently, which seems to be more stable than 2.0.x on my
system.

Bye, Patrick
