This fixed the problem (nosmp). Thanks for the tip.

My board, incidentally, is not a dual-processor board. Makes it all

And -- 2.0.x doesn't have the same problem. Weird.
Perhaps SMP could be made an option in the {menu,x}config system?
That way I would have said no to it and eliminated the problem
altogether :-)
BTW, what the heck is an APIC bus? Never heard of one before now :-)
