6.0 BETA2 reboot hangs on SMP system - progress of a sort

[Mark Kirkwood]

Looks like I have false alarmed everybody :-( I must have changed 
something in my BIOS setup since I last (tried to) reboot, because now 
5.4-RELEASE (SMP) reboots ok, and I have made no changes there.

I will look around and try to see what it is (a quick glance suggests I 
have USB enabled now, whereas it may have been disabled before).

Apologies for the confusion...
