I've seen 2.6.[0-4] SMP crashing because of my Digital 21041 NIC.
I've got a pair of Broadcom NICs. Besides, it crashes when it mounts the root ext3 partition.
The only thing plugged into the motherboard is an Adaptec 29320 controller. Can't really take that out and still be able to boot.
You could boot from a floppy.
How much ram? I'm having a problem at work on a box with 6 gigs, but if I knock it down to 4 (or use the UP kernel) it boots fine. â still trying to determine the actual cause of that in my case.
The 2.4 SMP kernel boots up just fine and sees both CPUs and RAM. And as long as I don't do âcertain thingsâ it runs fine.
At what point exactly does your SMP kernel crash on boot? Because my crash definitely occurs in memory allocation code, which may be related to your issue.
