I hope that this is the right place for me to report my problem - if not, please tell me! Some days ago I've purchased a new motherboard, cpu and graphics-adapters. The board is called "Abit NI8 SLI" which has a nForce4-Chipset and a socket 775. http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=280 The CPU is a Pentium-D 2,8 GHz. And the graphics-adapters are two GeForce7800GTX-Cards... My problem is, that a "cat /proc/cpuinfo" shows me just one cpu with one core. I've tested this with kernels 2.6.16.1 and 2.6.17-rc1 (x86 and x86_64) If I add the following line in my lilo.conf to the kernel, I can see both cpu's: append="pci=noacpi pci=routeirq noapic acpi=off" After this my cpuinfo looks like this: http://www.kpage.de/cpuinfo.txt and dmesg say's this: http://www.kpage.de/dmesg.txt But if I do so, the machine is running very unstable and is hanging after a while. The crashes will happen espacialy if I run OpenGL-Applications like "glxgears". Can someone of you tell me, what I can do to fix this problem? If you need further information, please tell me! Thank you very much and greetings! Frank -- Name: Frank von Daak eMail: f.vondaak@kpage.de Homepage: http://www.kpage.de "It takes a revolution, to make a solution! Bob Marley"
