Bill thanks. I disabled on boot and I ran in using strace it worked.
It detected my firewire cards and seemed fine. I am wondering if I am
suffering from USB SMP issues. I have fond some posts on the subject
but would like to know for sure. Others programs seem to crash when
scanning USB ports. The hard browser crashes and ptal (HP Linux drivers
for my USB HP printer) only works when using a non-SMP kernel. I have a
an ASUS A7M266-D motherboard with 2 AMD MP processors. PTAL will lock
up my system while hardware browser just dies. I really do want to have
to boot to a specific kernel to get a given task done.
I have heard that specifying noapic within GRUB may cure the problem.
However, I read of people's kernels going to panic mode. How do I
determine that this is really the case?
Thanks for your help,
Harry

Disable it on boot, run it after boot with strace and/or ltrace, and
post that to bugzilla if it still hangs.
