SuperMicro P6DLS 440LX Dual PII/333
Onboard Adaptec 2940UW
224MB RAM
9GB U-W SCSI drive

On 2.1.111, when booting I get the following:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 48k freed
stuck on smp_invalidate_needed IPI wait (CPU#1)
stuck on smp_invalidate_needed IPI wait (CPU#1)
<the previous message repeats 37 times then booting goes on normally>

I didn't try 2.1.110, but 2.1.108 worked Ok.

When booting on 2.1.112 it locks after it says

Freeing unused kernel memory: 48k freed
