2.1.114 locks up solid at bootup on my SMP box. After printing the IRQ
mapping table it says

Checking 'hlt' instruction...

... and 'hlt's. Keyboard is dead, no register dumps available, or magic
sysrq keys. The machine is a 2*P2/333, Intel DK440LX motherboard.

2.1.103 is okay (been using it so far), i think 2.1.111 or 2.1.112 was
the first i tried that had this behaviour. Where should I look at?

PS. Any change to get a longer dmesg buffer? With the new SMP kernels, a
couple of SCSI controllers, md/etherexpress and other verbose driver
startups the buffer wraps around in the middle of the bootup messages. No
chance to look at the first half after bootup...
