HP Netserver LT 6000r

[David King]

Again, for the curious and those searching the archives (believe
me, I wish this was available when I was setting it up): SMP is now
working without a hitch. All I did was compile with the default SMP
kernel configuration file. All of the other changes had to be made
to get it to boot at all. I'd love to see APM working, but have yet
to make that happen. Same with WOL.

Again, some serious kudos to the developers that make this happen!
