I noticed noone asked about the processor itself. I do not have my own dual processors but I understand that the processors must be of same batch or otherwise it may have a problem. You mentioned that your machine was originally a single processor and you added another. Am I correct? CH >On F

The lot number should be printed right on the processor. Did you check the smp motherboard list http://www.nlug.org/smp? If your motherboard is listed, you can see if anyone else has had smp problems, too. Good luck, Hidong John Weber wrote: > > I bought two new 750's from Dell with the

I bought two new 750's from Dell with the expressed intent of upgrading this machine to dual CPU's. I've assumed that Dell knows what they're doing (naive), but I can double check with them. The system boots and runs fine, only one processor. The motherboard apparently has no jumpers to set, just

Did the original post say that this machine had one cpu, and now it's being upgraded to two cpus? I've found that for smp to work, both processors have to have the same lot number. I recently upgraded a dual pii300 to dual pii600. I wanted to make sure that my motherboard was ok with the copper

What do maen by force the install of the SMP kernel? There was a place in the install (RH7.0) where I think I explicitly chose the SMP kernel...at any rate here's what got installed. At the lilo prompt I type "linux-smp". In /var/log/messages (see below), it looks like the kernel sees 2 processor

Hi, I have a Dell Precision 410 workstation that I'm having trouble getting both processors recognized by the kernel. The system bios is seeing both processors OK, but RH6.0 through RH7.0 don't see them. This machine originally came from dell with a single, 550 MHz processor with RH6.0 preinstall
