I've got an old IBM PC Server 720 with 3 Pentium
166 chips. I've successfully installed Debian 3.0 (woody), and have been very
happy with the performance and functionality.
The only challenge is I needed to recompile the
2.18 kernel to use PCI Bios access instead of Direct access.
This make of machine uses the old C-BUS II
architecture. Unfortunately the SMP Support
doesn't appear to exist for this method of SMP (it's not the new intel spec or
numa). The kernel was compiled with SMP Support.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to get the other
processors active?
