Comment 11 for bug 130075

I try to boot with the nosmp option to test this and 2.6.20-16-generic just hangs shortly into the boot (no output on any of the virtual screens). Any ideas on how to work around? I don't really see nosmp as a viable solution, but am willing to at least validate it as an option for some. If this is indeed a problem with nforce motherboards, I think it probably needs to get more attention and documentation - as I certainly was never aware of it and sort of just considered that the boards were so plentiful they can't be bad.

FWIW, I do notice that Asus uses Broadcom LAN rather than Nvidia's on their AMD server boards that otherwise use the rest of nforce. I wonder if this is why? Miravlix, do you have any links to threads where this has been discussed in public forum before or is it just your personal findings?
