We had no problems with smp on 2.6.8.3, and since this cpu supports
hyperthreading we enjoy a *big* power boost using smp. :)

Got some solutions myself.
LAG is caused by :
NETDEV WATCHDOG eth0 timeout
this is caused bacause of problems with rtl8139 network card in
kernel 2.6.x
I had to unselect SMP in kernel config to get my rtl8139 + PCI modem
to work with 2.6.8.1
Andy.
Solutions :
1.add in lilo.conf : append="noapic"
2.turn apic off in bios
3.if u have 2 rtl8139 cards, then exchange one with some other card
type (chipset)
btw. all above was found in various polish forums, but none has
worked for me. im switching kernel back to 2.4.22, and will report
later .
