2.4.0-test8 compilation problem on netfinity

[mdaljeet@in.ibm.com]

Hi,

If I compile the 2.4.0-test8 kernel on uniprocessor intel machine with SMP
support, I get no compilation problems. But when I compile on a 'netfinity'
machine with 3 intel processors with SMP support, the telnet session in
which I do this gets hung during 'make bzImage'. Though the 'bzImage' still
gets created but when I try to boot the netfinity with that image, the
system crashes and I get the following kernel messages:

Calibrating delay loop... 1795 Bogo MIPS

(the above line was the last thing written to the screen, it was then froze
at this point for at least 5 min.)

Has anybody faced this problem before? If anybody has booted the 2.4.x with
SMP support on the netfinity multi-processor machienes, kindly tell me the
way.
