SubjectBIOS says MP, kernel says XP was PROBLEM: Dual (2) AMD ATHLON MP 1900+ CPUs gives APIC error on CPU[0]: 00(02)
Quoting Bob Tanner (tanner@real-time.com):
> [1.] One line summary of the problem:
> Dual (2) AMD ATHLON MP 1900+ CPUs gives APIC error on CPU[0]: 00(02)

<snip>

> CPU0 AMD ATHLONG (TM) MP 1900+
> CPU1 *AMD ATHLONG (TM) MP 1900+

<snip>

> CPU0 AMD ATHLON (TM) XP 1900+ stepping 02
> CPU1: AMD ATHLON (TM) XP 1900+ stepping 02

Thanks to Jerry McBride, I think the problem is this.

The BIOS reports the CPUs as MP, but the kernel detects them as XP. As Jerry
pointed out you can't run dual XP processors.

I just grabbed the box the CPUs came in. It states the CPUs are MP.

How can I tell if the problem is with the BIOS, CPUs or kernel?
