I recently moved a Proliant 1600R from RH6.2 to RH 7.2.  The 
installation went very smoothly (nice job RH). Using RH Network, I 
upgraded to RH 2.4.9-34smp.

Then, I started to check things out.  It appears that this box (a Dual 
500 MHZ box) is not recognized as an SMP machine.  Both processors are 
recognized by the BIOS (indicating that it is initializing both processors).

Looking in /var/log/messages, I see the following:

I quick google search seemed to turn up lots of  reports of running SMP 
on this machine.  It is a:

Compaq Proliant 1600R (rack-mount version), dual 500 MHZ processors, 
1024M RAM.  and plain vanilla otherwise...


Any help is greatly appreciated.  I am not sure what I need to do next 
to try to get past this.

Charlie
