[Bug 24533] Re: Fail to boot smp kernel

[Richard Green]

Just reconfirmed this with linux-image-2.6.15-22-686, right after
running a dist-upgrade.

The system totally freezes as kdm is starting.  This time, the screen background was black, with just an unmovable arrow cursor in the middle.
  I tried rebooting in recovery mode, and it gave me a root console.  /proc/cpuinfo tells me that both CPUs were detected.  When I exited the root shell, it proceeded with the runlevel 2 init, and the last message I saw flashing by the screen was 'starting kdm...' just before the screen went blank and the system became unresponsive.

  I rebooted with linux-image-2.6.15-22-386, and all is well, but
running on one processor only.
