I run around 100 SMP servers with no problem.
Hardware.
Dual Xeon servers with HT on supermicro server boards.
Dual AMD on Tyan 2469,2468,2462
Dual Opteron on Tyan 2880
And I do run the fedora kernel. Anything I can do to help let me know.
But I have never seen any of the problems anyone is talking about.
I am guessing your systems were minimum installs withe the required
components added after install or you did a server install of some sort
without installing X..
Here is my experience, I have two systems, both are P4 2.4G HT systems..
System one has a minimum install with the required software added
(apache, mysql, php, etc).. This system is perfectly stable with the
standard FC SMP kernels..
System two has a workstation install and will freeze when cron or
anacron run the respective routines... It will ocasionally hang at other
times too..
My solution on System two was to build a kernel from the vanilla source
on
kernel.org and since then I have had a perfectly stable PC..
Later..
