Hi, We've been having problems running an smp kernel on our machine. Our system: dual PII 300 MHz asus p2b-ds motherboard 256 mb ram Red Hat 5.1 The machine runs great under a up kernel. However, with a certain application, we cannot run simultaneous jobs under an smp kernel. The jobs will crash with a segmentation fault until there is only one remaining, which does run to completion. Under a up kernel, simultaneous jobs of this application will all run fine to completion. I've checked various smp documentation, and all of our hardware should be compatible with smp. In our ongoing troubleshooting, I just noticed that the heat sink for the processor in slot 2 of the motherboard, the one farthest from the external connectors, feels hotter than the slot 1 processor heat sink. This is even under a up kernel, with multiple jobs running simultaneously. In the asus motherboard manual, it says that if only one processor is used on this board, it should be in slot 1. Running a up kernel, I would've suspected that the slot 1 processor would feel hotter than the slot 2 processor. We've had the case off for a couple of days now, so I think that the temperature differences between the heat sinks is really due to the processors, and not retained heat from the other devices in the system. I'm really not sure if this has anything to do with our smp problems, but it's just another thing that seems strange to me. Has anyone using this motherboard and smp checked the temperature of the processors? Thanks, Hidong _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
