I've been trying to get a Digital Server 5305 to run a SMP kernel, but I was unsucessful till now, the machine runs 2.2.20 or 2.4.18 UP perfectly, but crashes rigt after booting or when booting whenever I tri the SMP versions of this kernels. This is what /proc/cpuinfo says about the machine: cpu : Alpha cpu model : EV56 cpu variation : 7 cpu revision : 0 cpu serial number : system type : Rawhide system variation : 0 system revision : 0 system serial number : AY92103084 cycle frequency [Hz] : 531914893 timer frequency [Hz] : 1200.00 page size [bytes] : 8192 phys. address bits : 40 max. addr. space # : 127 BogoMIPS : 923.40 kernel unaligned acc : 0 (pc=0,va=0) user unaligned acc : 0 (pc=0,va=0) platform string : DIGITAL Server 5000 Model 5305 6533A 5/533 4MB cpus detected : 2 I have tried Debian smp kernel 2.2.20 (generic cpu) and a custom 2.4.18 kernel (using generic and then rawhide) and cpu allways crashes, las time I saw it crash I copied this: Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000000000000000000 cpu 0 swapper(0): Oops 0 then it outputs the registers, then trace and code and then... Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! In idle tak - not syncing Well, I know this doesn't show a thing, but I'm new to alpha so I don't know what to look at, if someone is willing to help on this I'll try to do whatever tests are needed to provide more info. Thanks in advance... -- Manty/BestiaTester -> http://manty.net
