Yesterday, I tried it and it did not help.

I pulled up todays's git version (yesterdays's claimed to be 'rc5' as
well), and all of a sudden it booted in SMP mode, without any magic from
my side.  So, the freeze problem is apparently fixed now.

Now I ran into next problem.  I have the controller with 8 channels, and
first 6 of them have disks connected.  Disks are identical, and
mvsata340 driver recognizes them all.  But sata_mv attaches first two
disks, then fails to recognize the next two, then successfully attaches
the last two.  So I end up with 4 disks online, out of 6.  I am
attaching relevant excerpts from dmesg, and similar portion from syslog
of 2.6.11.12 kernel with mvsata340 driver.  (The latter does attach all
six disks).

Any suggestions?
