Where you running an SMP kernel before?
(If so, which version?)

Normally I'd say get the latest (2.4.18 based) kernel.
But I know the SMP variant hangs on my A500 pretty quickly.
I haven't had a chance to debug this since I've been spending spare
cycle working on PA8700 support (bug workarounds in SBA code).

IIRC, the debian buildd machine is also a J5000 and runs a
non-SMP kernel for similar (same?) reason.

hth,
