Just to clarify, the 300 MHz and 350 MHz are two separate hosts? Or do you
have multiple CPUs in one host (=SMP machine)?

Btw, did the crash produce any syslog data (see /var/log/*log)? Can you
try to copy-paste the crash message to ksymoops like this:

on_the_host_that_crashed % ksymoops<enter>
       unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000010
        Oops: 0002

I recommend compiling without SMP support because it has not been tested.
Try without SMP support and tell us how it went. If it works without SMP
support, we definitely have a bug and know where to trace it.

We don't have two real HIP enabled hosts at my hands right at the moment,
so we cannot test with SMP support. The problem is not guaranteed to
reproduce on virtual hosts, but we can try test it with virtual
hosts and later on with real hosts.
