I have the same problem with an Fuijtsu-Siemens RX300 Server. I did a fresh
install on it, and booting up with SMP Kernel did hang somewhere were it mounts
the local disks. I'm not sure as I didn't dig too deep into it, but I suspect
the aacraid driver. Do you also have an Adaptec Raid controller with the aacraid
driver?
To me , it looks like you've hit a well known bug related to SMP
stability... I've forgotten the bug id , but it usually happens during
mount/unmount operations on SMP systems...
Some people have reported better results using a kernel compiled from
the pristine sources from kernel.org...
