Hello, I have an old Proliant 6000 (2-way Pentium II) from about 1998, currently is running RedHat 7.1 (last fixes and all), but it is unable to correctly detect the SMP motherboard. Follows relevant kernel output:

Any ideas to start debugging this one? thanks in advance cl. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
