[cpia] cpia hangs smp

[Rick Moss]

Hi
I'm replying to Duncan's post on the
Bugs site for cpia.
Well I'm not sure what to tell you, but
here goes.

I have a redhat 7.2 server that uses cpia + webcam
it's a creative labs II parallel port camera
on a dell poweredge smp server
dual 233 pII with 128M ram
http://tdm.silk.ca click on the webcam 
link & the last picture it took before the 
kernel update :)
after adding the 2.4.18-17xsmp update to 
the server (up2date) and rebooting I had a deadlock
no alt+f2 only  power off, I booted to the old kernel
2.4.10 and all was fine so after testing a few thing I found that 
I was adding modprobe cpia to the end of rc.local
to setup the webcam. I have also learned that if I boot the
non-smp kernel 2.4.18 it will modprobe cpia no problem
I have also tried the 2.4.19 from kernel.org & same effect
smp deadlock & non-smp no problem.
What can I do to help ?
feel free to ask  I can provide a ssh shell in
