SMP-Linux detects the CPUs but can't start them. I think I had made a 
version of Proll that could start the CPUs, but for some reason the same 
code doesn't work in OpenBIOS.

non-SMP:

> Starting kswapd

Something is wrong between these lines with SMP kernel but I have no idea 
what.

Thank you for testing, anyway.
