I've got a dual-PPro 200MHz Micronics W6LI motherboard.
Whenever I try to use an SMP kernel, it ALWAYS locks up
scanning the IDE bus. Also, it's VERY slow to count the
memory on boot-up.
Is this a bug in the SMP kernel or is it a problem with
that motherboard or (more likely *sigh*) MY motherboard? It
appears to have the latest Phoenix bios rev for that
motherboard.
I have 168-pin buffered 3.3volt EDO dimms in it (3 @ 64MB
each) and these are the 256k L1 cache PPro chips. It also
has vibra-16 sound on-board.
Please write me back if you have any hardware questions.
Someone suggested trying the "noapic" switch with LILO, but
I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I compiled a new
kernel (2.2.12) yesterday and it didn't work either.
I'm using Mandrake 6.0 for my distribution.
