Hi,

My dual pentium pro 200 (Tyan 440FX motherboard) has the following
problem after one day's uptime with SMP enabled in 2.0.24.
(It also happens in 2.0.22, 2.0.23, didn't try lower versions)
The machine still works, but it "crawls"!
Especially, I can't shutdown the machine by : # shutdown -r now
The machine will stop at some unmounting process and I need to reboot it.
Without SMP enabled in 2.0.23, I still saw "Aiee" sometimes,
but the performance of the machine was not degraded.
