Im running 2.4.18-25 and the machine seems to lock whenever I try to use apt with an smp kernel. apt-get(3766): unaligned access to 0x403ce094 at ip=0x4005e47f Although I was doing some benchmarking and was able to make -j 3 vmlinux using a 2.4.18-25 SMP kernel with no problems.

I believe Grant has a handle on this problem now, so expect it to be fixed quite soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
