I had issues running eCS 1.2MR with the SMP pack on a Dual Xeon system; I 
ended up having to drop back to the uni-processor kernel to get it to be 
stable.  I'm not positive that it was OS/2's fault, as that system died 
shortly after that change was made.  I intended to attempt getting that 
machine going again, but ended up having to scavenge the power supply from it 
to fix another machine.

At some point I will replace the power supply and see if I can get it to run 
again, but it's really low on the priority list at the moment.  I am testing 
ArcaOS in a VM, and will probably replace eCS 2.2 beta on my OS/2 BBS machine 
shortly.
