Alan Cox posted a patch against 2.0.17 that was supposed to fix some SMP problems.. I just tried 2.0.18 thinking it would be correted there but I was wrong. Time to try the patch I guess. I have the same symtoms.. kernels less than 2.0.15 work with SMP new ones do not. i'll forward you the post alan made..
