# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep 'CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6\|CONFIG_SMP'
# CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6 is not set
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6_V7=y
CONFIG_SMP=y
CONFIG_SMP_ON_UP=y

No stalls.

# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep 'CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6\|CONFIG_SMP\|ARCH_OMAP2'
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6=y
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6_V7=y
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2=y
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2PLUS=y
CONFIG_ARCH_OMAP2PLUS_TYPICAL=y

No stalls.

As soon as I enable both SMP and OMAP2 options the system stalls.
