OK, I was doing an apt-get update, and the damn thing died at Reading 
Package Lists... 0%.  I'll see what's up with it when I can, do you want 
ser pim, ser pim toc, or just wait for a new kernel?  (this sort of thing 
happens a lot on smp, but this box is surprisingly stable on UP)

Some things that occured to me about the hardware that may be influencing 
this.  The on-board USB on this box is broken (as in physically damaged).  
I have a pci usb card in there for typing on the graphics console, and 
when I installed it into the first slot recommended by the manual (2 I 
think) the box did some HPMC stuff when it tried to do selftests.  I moved 
it to slot 8 and everything seems happy with it.  Maybe something in the 
smp code is aggrevating these problems...
