hmm. It sounds like your result is real then.

I assume you mean the same configuration as for the dual 
cores?

With the 2.6.x kernels being released as snapshots rather 
than working kernels, to get functionality sometimes I have 
to run through a whole series of kernels to find ones that 
are functional. I tested about 50 from the last 2yrs 
recently and found that only half had a particular 
functionality I wanted. Even within a series you'd get a 
string of kernels that work and then a set that don't work 
and then at the end they do work again. The other day I 
copied my working 2.6.x laptop setup to a desktop machine to 
find that the drivers for 3 different ethernet cards (3Com, 
Intel e100, Netgear tulip) wouldn't load even though all 
devices were seen on the pci bus.

Whether this is relevant to your problem I don't know, but 
I'm pretty frustrated with the 2.6 kernels.

I don't know what effect the quad core is having. Can you 
turn off 2 of them in the BIOS just for a test? Can you try 
a 2.4 kernel, or any other 2.6 kernel?
