Just purchased a SS10 and net-installed Netbsd 1.6.1.At the installation =
i used the=20
GENERIC kernel (thus no SMP after the install).Once after the first boot =
i compiled a=20
custom kernel enabling the MP and i got the common " ledma0 =
errors"!Started playing=20
around with the conf but ended using the GENERIC.MP.
 Although it was reported that both CPUs (2 cpu modules exist) were =
initialized the=20
output of the top command showed only once CPU0 (2 compiles in =
progress).
 The story ended like this:
panic: nmi_hard: SMP botch.
After this the machine was paniced and rebooted, panic and reboot , =
panic and reboot=20
..

(I have noticed an article stating that modules with no external cache =

problems.Is it still an issue or it has been fixed?)
