I have got Fedora Core 2 Release installed on a new HP DL380 2-cpu box.
Tried to install a product with a Java installer and it hung. Which is ok. What's not ok is that one of the Java processes became unkillable with -KILL and sat on one of the 4 "CPUs" forever.
I guess, SMP is not quite there yet?
Could be you're running into a Java-related problem reported earlier on this list (quoted below.) FC1 and SMP is certainly fine though, I use that combination to develop very large Java applications. I haven't had a chance to upgrade my development machine to FC2, though I may wait until these problems are resolved.
Sounds very much like my problem. Kinda scary when you lock up the kernel by simply running a very common user process....
