Hmmm... as the "father" of the current auto-smp kernel in Dynamite,
I've been using one on my SOHO 5.1.2 for quite a while now, together
with the propietary ATI drivers and a Radeon X600 (HP P4 3GHz
notebook). I have never suffered from a similar problem as is
described here. My current kernel is a 2.6.17.7.
