Subject: Re: Kernel problem

I spoke with Denis Romanenko (i know him)

Here is some additional info:
First of all, he booted kernel with extensive debug options. He was not able 
to run it for long time, because performance of router degraded too much.

Here is part of script where all things happened

echo 8 >/proc/irq/214/smp_affinity

echo 2 >/proc/irq/217/smp_affinity
