It works here on K380, 3 CPU's, but not as easily as on newer hw.
Debian (Sarge 3.1r0a) netinst loads the kernel, but fails too soon (no
multiuser and no console I recall).
Gentoo has fully working livecd, which boots on K class too. Someone
recommended to use the last image from 2004. So I would recommend
playing with Gentoo for now.

But there's a new problem with latest kernels too. 2.6.12.2-pa2 runs
fine with SMP enabled. But any 2.6.13-rc kernel with SMP dies silently
right after probe for console (ttyB0). When new (.13-rc) kernel is
built without SMP support, it works fine. Any ideas what could be
problem here?
