Pretty much a standard Origin. I suspect the problem might be related to
machines which only have a single physical CPU, that was the only common
thing between all the Origins on which Linux fails. And indeed I don't
think we ever used such a small configuration for testing at SGI ...
Nick, did you observe any interesting differences to your failing Origin
configuration?
Btw, Origin UP kernel is definately broken ...
