Dear Kernel People, A friend of mine has a new PC with an ASUS CUV4X-D motherboard and dual 1GHZ PIII's. We have installed RedHat 7.1. The original RedHat SMP kernel (2.4.2) did not boot; it froze with some complaints about APIC. The backup single processor kernel 2.4.2 booted o.k., however. The upgraded kernel from RedHat (2.4.3) also refused to boot properly - the boot up will start and the screen will then go blank before I can discern any informative messages. I also downloaded the latest 2.4.6 kernel which had the identical problem, and then I also applied the latest Alan-Cox patch for 2.4.6 which did not solve the problem. The 2.4.6 kernel will boot when only a single processor is used, however. The system is fairly basic - no sound card, ADAPTEC SCSI card (nothing attached for now), 1 GB PC133 RAM, 2 60 GB IDE Harddrives (1 Maxtor, 1 IBM), CD and CDRW, GeFORCE 2 MX video card, 3Com 3c59x ethernet and not much else. Specs for the motherboard are at: http://www.asus.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/pentiumpro/cuv4x-d/index.html Any idea as to how we might get the dual processors to work? My next plan is to compile the kernel without the Pentium III optimizations... Thanks, B.D. -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Brian Dushaw Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington 1013 N.E. 40th Street Seattle, WA 98105-6698 (206) 685-4198 (206) 543-1300 (206) 543-6785 (fax) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Page: http://staff.washington.edu/dushaw/index.html - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
