We've been using SYM2 on our A500 SMP for quite a large amount of time 
now,
not experiencing anymore race problem.
I recall some troubles on B2600 (bame experienced those as well, the box
just went very lazzy; and you could heard the HD twinkling twice a 
second)
but we had no chance to test SYM2 on that box lately...
Maybe we can give it a shot on our J5k which is currently running SYM1
(SMP kernel as well).

HTH,
