All was well up to 1268 - starting with 1275 and 1276 the smp kernel fails to boot - it hangs here:
Mounting root filesystem kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3-fs: mounted filesystems with ordered data mode Switching to new root.
Then it just hangs. No more info
Non-smp boots fine as do all versions of smp prior to 1275.
Machine is 1 GiB mem, HT 3.6 GHz with SATA disk (intel ICH6R/ICH6RW) - dell precision 370 (intel based).
Following is /proc/cpuinfo and lspci -vv.
Let me know if there's anything further I can provide to help.
