For me the May 8 version works fine under 2.1.29 SMP. I've been stressing
it by doing parallel kernel compiles and "dummy" backups (backing up parts
of my disk to a file on the same disk (now *that* can be noisy! :-))
I don't have SCB paging enabled though, and have yet to try the new SMP
stuff in the 2.1.3x kernels. From reading the kernel list, I'd better
wait at least till 2.1.37 makes it out of the door. People with nearly
identical hardware are having problems to even boot...
