Compaq ML530 - SMP problem
People, I'm trying to set a SMP kernel for a dual compaq proliant ml530 but it states that mp table is broken. At first try, it simply hangs on boot time when it seems to assing irq to apic. Then, on hardware configuration ([F10] at boot time), I've locked all resources (IRQ, IO, MEM, etc) at Compaq Configurtion Utilities, disabled on-board SCSI controller and now it boots, initialize CPU1 but still hangs when going to mount root from /dev/idad0s1a (a raid 5 device, Compaq SmartArray 221). Follow mptable and dmesg (with kernel.GENERIC that boots fine): === MPTable, version 2.0.15 --- MP Floating Pointer Structure: location: BIOS physical address: 0x000f4ff0 signature:'_MP_' length: 16 bytes version: 1.4 checksum: 0xfe mode: Virtual Wire --- MP Config Table Header: physical address: 0x000f296a signature:'PCMP' base table length:516 version: 1.4 checksum: 0x38 OEM ID: 'COMPAQ ' Product ID: 'PROLIANT' OEM table pointer:0x OEM table size: 0 entry count: 56 local APIC address: 0xfee0 extended table length:252 extended table checksum: 176 --- MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model Step Flags 1 0x10BSP, usable 6 8 3 0x383fbff 0 0x10AP, usable 6 8 3 0x383fbff -- Bus:Bus ID Type 0 PCI 2 PCI 5 PCI 15 ISA -- I/O APICs: APIC ID Version State Address 8 0x11usable 0xfec0 -- I/O Ints: TypePolarityTrigger Bus ID IRQAPIC ID PIN# INT active-lo level0 8:A 8 31 INT active-lo level0 8:B 8 31 INT active-lo level0 8:C 8 31 INT active-lo level0 8:D 8 31 INT active-lo level5 8:A 8 30 INT active-lo level5 8:B 8 30 INT active-lo level5 8:C 8 30 INT active-lo level5 8:D 8 30 INT active-lo level5 7:A 8 29 INT active-lo level5 7:B 8 29 INT active-lo level5 7:C 8 29 INT active-lo level5 7:D 8 29 INT active-lo level5 6:A 8 28 INT active-lo level5 6:B 8 28 INT active-lo level5 6:C 8 28 INT active-lo level5 6:D 8 28 INT active-lo level5 9:A 8 27 INT active-lo level5 9:B 8 27 INT active-lo level5 9:C 8 27 INT active-lo level5 9:D 8 27 INT active-lo level5 5:A 8 26 INT active-lo level5 5:B 8 26 INT active-lo level5 5:C 8 26 INT active-lo level5 5:D 8 26 INT active-lo level2 5:A 8 25 INT active-lo level2 5:B 8 25 INT active-lo level2 5:C 8 25 INT active-lo level2 5:D 8 25 INT active-lo level2 6:A 8 24 INT active-lo level2 6:B 8 24 INT active-lo level2 6:C 8 24 INT active-lo level2 6:D 8 24 INT active-lo level5 4:A 8 22 INT active-lo level5 4:B 8 21 INT active-hiedge 15 1 81 INT active-hied
Re: Compaq ML530 - SMP problem
i had similar problem before. You have to set compaq bios for smp operation. ciao --- Marcio Merlone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > People, > > I'm trying to set a SMP kernel for a dual compaq > proliant ml530 but it > states that mp table is broken. > > At first try, it simply hangs on boot time when it > seems to assing irq > to apic.

Re: Compaq ML530 - SMP problem
Hello, Yes, but.. how the heck should I do that? The only boot-time configuration is the [F10] for Compaq utilities and could not find anything about smp there... how to get to bios configuration?

When you hit F10 for the System Utilities, hit (I think...) CTRL-A, and you _should_ get a message to the effect that advanced config options are now available. I can't remember precisely what the option is called, but it is very ovbiously to do with multi- processor operation. There should be three settings for APIC mode, and you need the one that mentions "Full table, mapped ..." (one is just full table, and it's not this one you want.) I am really sorry to be so vague - I just go through and change the settings without taking much notice of the text... Let me know if you can't find it, and I'll test it on one of my boxes tomorrow when I get back to the office. > > Sorry if it is a lammer question, but..

sorry i was busy ... f10 go -> System Configuration->Configuration Hardware->Review and Modify hardware Settings->View or edit details->primary operating system i chose netwaer 4.11 (SMP) ciao --- Marcio Merlone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Yes, but.. how the heck should I do that?
