Re: [expert] Mandrake SMP w/ P54C??
I have dual P-Pro 200 with 128 meg. If I run 2 copies of SETI@Home, xosview and Ktop both show the CPUs at 99%.

Right now our box shows both CPUs at 99% ish.

same problem with Duel PIII-600mhz with 1GIG ECC PC-100 RAM. Had abosultely no luck at all with it, lastly resoerted to RedHat 6.1 as well.

[expert] Mandrake SMP w/ P54C??
Hello all - I was messing around with an old Digital Prioris machine (EISA) - it's got dual Intel P54C processors (90's I think) but the SMP kernel will not boot. It boots the UP kernel just fine, but the SMP kernel panics /proc/cpuinfo shows only one CPU (the WindozeNT it was running saw both). Has anyone tried SMP on similar architecture? The machine is dog slow and older than dirt so I'll likely not do anything with it anyway, but I'd like to see what it can do with SMP if possible. Interesting machine - when I opened it up I found one of the CPUs had another CPU glued on top of it (upside down) acting as a heat sink. Regards - Don
