    I remember some strange case (somewhere around 2.4.18,
    yes I know you are running 2.6.0 whatever) where I needed
    to set the smp_affinity manually after boot, otherwise
    the second cpu would not receive any interrupts on some
    dual athlon system ...

    echo ff >/proc/irq/xx/smp_affinity

    did the trick, everything else was working as expected ...

    just a weird idea, don't blame me if it actually works ;)

    best,
    Herbert
