Subject: SMP on 9600

I have a problem getting a 9600/200 MP to boot in SMP mode. I have compiled
the kernel myself with SMP on. In my latest attempt I used the
2.2.17-pre13-ben1. The kernel compiles and it does boot. But i keep getting
the following message during boot:
Entering SMP Mode...
Processor 1 is stuck.
and the boot continues. the /proc/cpuinfo lists only processor 0 when the
boot is finished. This happens no matter what kernel-tree i compile from.
I have tried swapping the CPU card with another, with no results.
And also: What's with the "Enhanced RTC" option that the help text on SMP
says shouyld be on? If i compile with enhanced RTC, the kernel panics during
boot (when loading the RTC driver) and reboots. I assume that this doesnt
work on the PowerPC, and that the help text is x86-made.
Anyone with insight on this?!
