I'm using 2.6.18.1 on a dual Athlon MP 1800+ machine with SMP disabled
which works just fine. As soon as I enable SMP in the kernel, I get a
bunch of errors about nbdX sending on a closed socket, the device
mapper and the kernel fails with No volume groups found. If I disable
Network Block Devices and enable LVM and Device Mapper, the nbd and
device map errors stop but I still have the volume group error and a
boot failure.
Any idea why?
Thanks,
Matt

Nope. Please supply more information. Boot log from SMP and non-SMP,
kernel config, distribution, compiler version etc. would be nice. See
REPORTING-BUGS in your kernel source tree.

None, but things like this are related to acpi issues often enough to
make some boot time acpi options worth trying. Also: try booting the smp
kernel with the "nosmp" option. That's not the same as the uni kernel,
and might aid in telling unhappy kernel from unhappy hardware.
