Hi,
I'm using an Asus PC-DL and everything works fine, except I'm 
experiencing troubles when copying files via a network fs (nfs and smb). 
Because of that I wrote to the linux-fsdevel-list and to the lkml.
A exact description of the symptons may be read here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3608

My system had 2 P4 with HT activated, but a few days ago I deactivated 
HT and instantly I experienced much less troubles (~2/9 files corrupted 
via nfs instead of ~7/9). After this I compiled a kernel without 
smp-support and the problem was gone. Got no more any corrupted files!
It's a bit weird that I got only troubles with network filesystems, but 
that's the way it is ...
Please read the description given in the bug-report link given above for 
further informations, but, as I said, when I posted this bug I hadn't 
realized yet it got something to do with smp...

I'd be very pleased if somebody could help me so that I could reactivate 
my second processor :)
Thanks in advance,
Thomas Lenherr
