Re: Problems w/ 2.6.6 on smp system...

[Drew Bertola]

Sorry to reply to my own post, but I've found out that the "S3 and PAE
don't play nice...disabling S3" was not the cause.  

There are some interesting lines in my dmesg output (see below) that
someone might find useful.  I've trimmed my initial post below to
include the remaining useful bits and description of the problem.

This is a general 2.6.6 issue (not an FC2 issue - although that explains
how I find myself in the realm of the 2.6 kernels).

Brad Fitzpatrick suggested CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=n and that did solve the
PAE / S3 fuss.  Still...
