The main thing here is that 32- and 64-bit SMP kernels are very
different. On a D390 a 32-bit kernel crashes on a lot of cases (I've
submited info on atleast three of those) and 64-bit kernel also
crashes, but in a very different way (and for very different reasons,
I'm quite sure). Lots of people have managed to run 64-bit SMP
kernels, I haven't heard of any succesful 32-bit SMP yet...
