could you tell all people on your list seeing problems on SMP to try my
patch, does it make a difference?
for my box, the 'requirement' for stability seems to be that the
'disable_irq()+start_request()+enable_irq()' trio (ide.c:line 1130) has to
be atomic. If any sti disrupts them anywhere, i get a lockup sooner or
later.
