I'm sorry to be so thick, but I do not understand why the CMD-649 card is not
getting an interrupt with a 2-CPU kernel, but gets one with a single CPU
kernel. I have spent some time on trying to get it to work. I would appreciate
any pointers that anyone can offer. I will send any information that my be
helpful. We have had this problem for more than a year. I have lost sleep over
it!
I have included excerpts from dmesg, and some files from /proc in an earlier
post, but perhaps did not include sufficient info.
Here is part of it again:

If you can point me to any source of information about these interrupts on SMP
systems, and how they are (or are not) allocated, I would be grateful.
