   I tried for quite a while to get both my cores working on Warp 4 without    
   any luck (always crashed when doing anything, even with the most minimal    
   system). I finally shelled out for eCS and as soon as I enabled SMP    
   things just worked. Also nice to get rid of 15 years of cruft.   
   BTW, even with only one core I often (maybe 25% of the time) had boot    
   failures like you're experiencing. One thing I did that really improved    
   things here was to take a blower to my box. Huge cloud of dust came out    
   and a few boot oddities went away. Just have to be careful to not let    
   your fans over spin if you blow it out.

   ps The ACPI readme also stresses to physically clean out your computer    
   before even trying it.
