Hmm.. Ok. To me it seems just like it doesnt get that its the smp version 
that are running.

Come on, someone else must have compiled mga_vid on smp? Did it work?

I have the source with the kernel cfg.. Humm, but CONFIG_SMP
isnt set:

[iocc at flashdance 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5-i686]$ grep -i smp .config
CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP=y
# CONFIG_SMP is not set
# CONFIG_X86_BIGSMP is not set
CONFIG_X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG=y

But mga_vid doesnt care about what the .config says I guess?
I guess I'll have to build my own kernel if nothing else work.
(I have too many computers, I want to avoid to build kernels if its 
possible).
