I just recently put togfether an SMP sytem using an abit BP6 two celeron
500's, 3dfx voodoo3 3000 agp, soundblaster live value, western digital
ide hard drive, tekram dc390f scsi card, kingston kne30t ethernet card,
and 128 megs of micron pc 100 sdram. I installed RH 6.1 on it kernel
2.2.12-20 from the cd. Anyway the install went fine but on bootup linux
gets about
halfway through the startup processes, and the screen goes black and it
reboots.
I can get a uni-processer kernel to boot no problem but it's the SMP
that doesn't
do it. I also compiled a 2.2.14 kernel with smp and it does exactly the
same thing. I can't figure it out but I think it may have somethingto do
with dma or irq's. I don't really know what to do or look for so I could
use some
help because right now I'm only using one processor thus defeating the
point of smp. Thanks in
advance, -peel
