[techtalk] 2.2.16-22 Kernel Compile errors

[Vinnie]

um...is there a reason it's trying to compile smp code (like, do you have
more than one processor?)

anyway, just for kicks, you might try compiling with smp turned off if
it's on and on if it's off and see if that helps....

if turning it off helps and you have more than one processor, then life
will get interesting :)
