I took a crack at this a while back trying the non-brute force approach. However, I'm only interested in it as a hobby (I have an I2 R4400, and I'd like to get into some embedded work with the SiByte chip when it comes out). I was trying to make the computer look like a single node (assigning a NASID of 0, etc..), but i got bogged down in the page vs. node stuff before i got to far into it. I'd be willing to help and test again, but i have limited time now, unfortunately. I was going for functionality, not speed, obviously ;) john.c - -- John Clemens BS, Computer Engineering, RPI 2000 clemej@alum.rpi.edu at home - Parallel Computer Researcher/Hobbist clemej@mclx.com at work - Kernel Engineer
