Subject: Problem with SMP 2.4.21 on Compaq Prolian 1600
Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2003 13:11:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <009c01c33db1$6feaa420$1100000a@busbydev> (raw)

Linux SMP,
    I've got a Compaq Proliant 1600-2xP3/500 machine that I cannot get SMP
to work correctly on.  At one point I had Win2K Server on there, and that
could see both processors.  (We're migrating to Linux).  So I installed
Slackware 9.0 (my personal favourite distro), then did some updates.  The
2.4.21 kernel was released (thank you) and I went to install.  The current
kernel 2.4.20 didn't have SMP enabled on that machine but I thought I'd try
2.4.21 with SMP.  So I did, using menuconfig I enabled SMP (only one option
right?) and then compiled the beast, config lilo and then thought I was good
to go.  Reboot was fine (after I remembered to include the PCI stuff that I
forgot the first compile) but cannot see the 2nd processor.  `cat
/proc/cpuinfo` (below) only shows one CPU in the machine :[.  Did I miss
something in the menuconfig?  I don't know where to even start
troubleshooting this.  I suppose I should also mention that I'm using the
software raid1 and 5 and booting from the raid1 device (/dev/md0).  Please
advise.
