I can't imagine that's likely either.  One difference is that I believe
a two-cpu L2k shows up with CPUs 0 and 3 rather than 0 and 1.  Maybe we have
a problem there.  John, could you try disabling cpus 1 and 2 on the L2k?

Galen, how about trying booting the same SMP kernel, but disable the
second CPU at the pdc prompt?  That might help narrow down the problem
a little.
