Hi,
I have an ALR Revolution Q-SMP board with four P133 processors on it. I tried to run 2.1.97+IO-Apic patch, but it still won't work :-(
I can run the 2.1.97 kernel fine with UniProcessor kernel. SMP_kernel compiles OK, but at booting it always comes to :
CPU0: Intel Pentium 75+ stepping 0b Calibrating APIC timer ..... CPU Clock speed is 133.3200 Mhz ..... APIC bus clock speed is 533.3113 Mhz. Booting processor 1 eip2000 : Not responding Booting processor 2 eip2000 : Not responding Booting processor 3 eip2000 : Not responding The system then tries to boot further and finally hangs at :
Kernel panic : IO-APIC + timer doesn't work !
Any ideas ?
Greetings, Wim Binneveld
