Grab the latest source tarball, tweak arch/parisc/configs/c3000_config to enable SMP, and "make". Note PARISC SMP support has only recently been fixed in our linux-2.6 tree (thanks jejb, tausq!) and hasn't been broadly tested. But the same bugs jejb found still exist in 2.4 kernels. Kyle McMartin is looking at back porting those fixes and could probably use help with the N4K and "mb() in spinlock()" patches. hth, grant _______________________________________________ parisc-linux mailing list parisc-linux@lists.parisc-linux.org http://lists.parisc-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/parisc-linux
