The crashes ONLY happen if we enable all 4 Cores in the BIOS (Dual

This makes me wonder. Are you enabling dual core from the mother
board? This is not a common option. What is common is enabling and
disabling HT on the mother board. With HT enabled and 2 dual core
CPUs you should see 8 CPUs in Linux. (I don't know if the 5160 is HT
capable).
Some motherboards don't like Hyper Threading with multiple CPUs.
So my question is: Is Hyper Threading turned off on the mother board?
As far as I can find out, these CPU's don't support HT at all!
However, you maybe on to something here because the "ht" flag is listed
in cpiinfo, yet I have been told these cpus support ht.
Thanks phil, I'll investigate this with Supermicro tomorrow.
Albert.
