Anyone succesfully accomplished this ?

I have a PE1650 that I'm waiting on rails for and a PE1550 I can temporarily ursurp. Does it also hang under 5.3-R? I had some odd problems with a PE2450 that turned out to be a screwed up fxp pci card. Taking the card out got the machine booting again.

Do you have any cards in this system?It seems that disabling NO_MIXED_MODE allows the 1550s to succesfully operate in smp mode.
