Hi all, I have found an old NCR 3430 system (with MCA, and proprietary MP board) As of now, I was able to install and recompile linux on it (2.2.14-5.0 and 2.2.18), but I haven't found any way to get smp running. As far as I know the NCR is not Intel MP compliant. Looking on the ml archive I found a post from Ingo Molnar for a "MP-BIOS-less" patch, but I could'nt find it. So I asking if I can find a patch or there is some boot-parameter for the kernel 2.2.14 or 2.2.18 or even 2.4.0 for forcing linux to go in MP mode without an MP compliant Bios. Thanks in advance Best regards Lorenzo Quatrini P.S. I'm new to this ml, and I'm not a kernel developer,but I'm just searching for help, so let me know if I should'nt post here. Before posting here I deeply searched for help in the FAQ and other sources, but I could'n find anything, so I decided to ask for your help. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
