Sorry, I accidentally deleted the original message from Lauro.

The question was about adding SMP with a DELL Poweredge; on reboot the
machine froze up.

Do you get any diagnostics when your machine freezes?  You may need to set
the number of busses or interrupts in the kernel configuration
file.   When I compiled for SMP on my poweredge server, these were not
correct initially.  (I wound up with NBUS=4 and NINTR=37 for my machine,
but you can do this by trial and error, adjusting the values when the
kernel doesn't boot.)
