    I just yum upgraded to the latest kernel (2.6.12-1.1447_FC4) and tried
    to boot one of my boxes into SMP mode and got the familiar
    eth0 SIOCSIFFLAGS timer expired
    error during boot up. That's been going on for quite a few kernel
    releases and I've been booting into the uniprocessor kernels to avoid
    the error. The interface comes up fine in non SMP.

    A while back I looked this error up on bugzilla and as I recollect it
    was a known problem that was going to get corrected in some future
    kernel. I just checked bugzilla again, and I can't find this error, but
    I've still got the problem.

    Anyone know what causes it and how I can boot the box into SMP
    successfully as far as eth0 is concerned? This particular box is an
    older P-III with 2 866MHz chips and a gig of RAM.
