The SMP kernel boots but it crashes when storage is initialized (I try tracking this down). There is a trick however which appeared to be needed some kernel versions ago. I need to patch vsprinf.c file to replace the va_arg(long long) call with two va_arg(long) calls. It is probably due to broken compiler in the Aurora 3. Otherwise it hangs very early. This hanging is random and may differ with features selected to be compiled into the kernel.
