You get huge troubles with a 4(+)CPUS machine.
2.2.x kernels used only CPU 0 for interrupt handling on Alpha; it's only with 2.4.x that interrupts were able to be delivered to other CPUs on Alpha. And yes, this was broken for more than 2 CPUs on Tsunami-based boxes under 2.4.x until recently, as Stefano notes. --Jay++ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jay A Estabrook Alpha Engineering - LINUX Project Compaq Computer Corp. - MRO1-2/K20 (508) 467-2080 200 Forest Street, Marlboro MA 01752 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
