[Bug 49450] Re: 2.6.15-23-686 hangs a couple of times per week

[Matt Marulla]

Same problem.  Machine is a PII x 2, Intel 440BX chipset, ATI Radeon
7000.

Boots fine and is stable on 386 kernel, and on 2.6.15-23-686,
2.6.15-25-686, and 2.6.15-27-686 but only with the MAXCPUS=1 directive.

If allowed to boot without that directive; i.e., if allowed to go SMP,
it crashes hard (complete lock-up requiring a power cycle) within 5
minutes.

Memory tests good and machine ran fine with both processor for several
years under WinXP.

No obvious clues in the log files, but I have not exhaustively searched
them all yet.
