I've read http://www.van-dijk.net/mailarchive/cpqlin0005/0016.html and also http://www.cpqlinux.com/pl4500.html. We have the same problem - we have 15 Compaq ProLiant 4500 servers and the only OS where we succesfully used SMP feature of that servers was Windows 2000 [and maybe NT]. We tried Linux [kernel 2.2 and 2.4], OpenBSD 3.3, FreeBSD 5, Solaris 9... computers was working, but they used allways only 1 of 2 or 4 of 100 MHz CPUs. Has anybody experiences it this area? [We already contacted Mr. John Cagle, the answer was to use Windows or UnixWare or OpenServer, but we want to use Linux.] Can you give us advice how to enable SMP on Linux [or BSD or Solaris or ... ???]? Can you recommend us some patch for some kernel and settings of its configuration [file .config...]? Source codes will be coolest - maybe we can cooperate to finish such solution - there are many Linux experts with programmer's skills [Slovak Technical University, Commenius University... we have very close contact with strong intelectual and technical potential... and we belong to it]. Thanks in advance. Good Bye. -- Jan Ostrochovsky [ostry] ICQ: 209889105 e-mail: ostry@host.sk address: Manzelak B613, 84225 Bratislava, Slovak Republic
