This turned out to be a problem with the sym53c416
driver and sg in lk 2.2.16 , not a problem with SMP.
Basically the sg driver in lk 2.2.16 breaks the
sym53c416 driver. This problem is not found prior to
lk 2.2.16 and will be fixed in lk 2.2.17 . For those
who need a patch see the table in this page:
