[K12OSN] smp problems on 4.2.1

["John T. Leonard" <johnny msad41 us>]

Hi All....
Just installed 4.2.1 on a compaq dl580 with no problems on the install...on the
reboot it will only boot the single processor kernel...if I don't intercept it
and let it try to boot the smp kernel it does the following...

booting the kernel.
audit (1112361796.370:0):
initialized

at that point it stalls with a blinking cursor and stays there
indefinately...does anyone have any ideas on a fix...some background on the
compaq...it has 4, 2mb 700 xeon processors and 2 gbs of memory...everything in
the box is 'stock' compaq.....TIA John
