Thanks for your reply, Tom. At least I know it should be doable. |

To all who've commented on this thread, thanks again. |

I've now tried a stage 3 installation booting the 2.6.1 SMP kernel from a |
| 13 |
2004.0 LiveCD (the SMP configs on 2004.1 LiveCDs are all broken---see bug |
| 14 |
#49382). |
| 15 |

I had no lockup problems while running that kernel, but after rebooting |
| 17 |
with my kernel (gentoo-sources, built with Chris's |
| 18 |
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer") I've already |
| 19 |
suffered two lockups. I set MAKEOPS="-j1" for safety. |

Something very weird here. Next, I'm going to try booting from the cd and |
| 22 |
chrooting into my system and then doing more extensive testing of the |
| 23 |
kernel on the cd, but I'm really running out of options here. I'll |
| 24 |
probably also try building another kernel with CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 |
| 25 |
-O2 -pipe". Any other suggestions? |

Does anyone think that my two CPUs having different stepping levels could |
| 28 |
have anything to do with this problem? One is level 7 and the other 9. |

Greg KH thinks it's bad memory, but I'm skeptical of that because the main |
| 31 |
address that fails (some 30 times in a row) is at 1023.8MB and the Dell |
| 32 |
Utilities only test up to 1022MB, and because I haven't seen the problem |
| 33 |
with the liveCD kernel. |
