What mother board are you running your 2 Athlon MP 2100+'s on?? Cheers, Wolf |Before handing you a towel to dry your foot after extracting |it from your mouth, I will first ask you the basis for your |contention that Red Hat Linux 8.0 does not support SMP. For |example, what does your system respond with when you type: | |$ uname -a | |My dual Athlon MP 2100+ system responds with: | |Linux lion 2.4.18-14smp #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 11:55:37 EDT 2002 |i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux | |What does your /boot/grub/grub.conf file contain? Mine |contains the following: | |# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes |to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that |# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. |# root (hd0,0) |# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3 |# initrd /initrd-version.img |#boot=/dev/hda |# |# Default boot kernel |default=2 |# |# Seconds to wait before booting default |timeout=10 |# |# Splash screen to display splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz |# |# Kernel 0 |title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14debug) | root (hd0,0) | kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14debug ro root=LABEL=/ vga=794 | initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14debug.img |# |# Kernel 1 |title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14) | root (hd0,0) | kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 ro root=LABEL=/ vga=794 | initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14.img |# Kernel 2 |title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-14smp) | root (hd0,0) | kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14smp ro root=LABEL=/ vga=794 | initrd /initrd-2.4.18-14smp.img |# |# end-of-file | |I am successfully running Red Hat Linux 8.0 SMP kernels on two |very different SMP systems, one of which needs 'noapic' in the |grub boot command line since it's an ancient server whose BIOS |is apparently broken with respect to APIC. | |Now... you were saying? | |--Doc Savage, RHCE | Fairview Heights, |IL ###################################################################### Attention: This e-mail message is privileged and confidential.
