usb + smp + apollo pro 133a + 2.4.0 = still broken
just a heads up that usb in smp-enabled 2.4.0 kernels running on machines with the via apollo pro 133a chipset is still broken. the last word i heard was that it's a pci irq routing problem. smp and usb will play together pretty nicely if you disable apic (ie. "noapic" to lilo).
i'm more than willing to help test patches and provide any more info to people working on this, but i lack the low-level knowledge to actually fix it.
thanks,
pete

I have a Triton II SMP board (two P200 MMX) that has the same problem. I'm also willing to test still.
