right!
I have the same problem. My Kernel is basicly a GENERIC with SMP and ULE
added (4BSD removed).

indeed.
The MySQL server won't start and is not killable. I had to switch back to
SCHED_4BSD :-/

I would be available for testing packages, as this machine is not in
production.

it's a dual xeon 2,8 ... you can find detailed information about it at:
