sched-rollup-v14 runs good on 2-cpu w/reaim (more in next email):
example:
http://khack.osdl.org/stp/279657/

Has oops on 4-cpu when running the dbt2-1tier database test(below):
Two runs, different oops.
Let me know how much more detail you need.
Both machines are Intel PIII x ~800mhz w/ 1GB RAM/cpu
Diffs between the 2 and 4 way would include. :
- different SCSI controllers
- database uses raw IO
kernel .config files should be the same for both, other
than SCSI.
