This exact system was running Slackware SMP 2.0.36 with no problems. RedHat Linux kernel 2.2.5-22smp also 2.2.5-15smp will lock up at various times. This can be reproduced easily by installing and running Microlite's Backup Edge software. By loading down the system by doing a tape backup the system will lock within 5-10 minutes. When running the uniprocessor versions of the same kernels the backups will succeed. The system will also lockup durring system shutdown and GNU desktop logouts and reboots. The system never shows the problem in a single processor configuration.
