SMP Kernel - newer G4

I'm trying to get a new G4 with dual 800MHz something working.
(/proc/cpuinfo says cpu: unknown 80000201)
It works fine with the 2.4.4-1a kernel on the YDL 2.0 CD, but it does not
work when I enable SMP
and rebuild, or if I use the SMP kernel in that distribution (2.4.4-1asmp).

In the boot it gets to

     openpic:enter
     <snip>
     openpic:exit
     smp_core99_probe
     smp_core99_kick_cpu
     smp_core99_kick_cpu done
     didn't find cpu 1
     core99_setup_cpu 0 done
     smp_commence

and then nothing.

I looked at the site mentioned below, but could not find the /users/dburcaw
 area.
Has this moved?
What is the current "recommended" SMP kernel?
