Re: SMP linux
You are kidding. I put junk in the CVS server? I guess he still need some time to figure out how to modify his mptable.c.

Re: SMP linux
I moved that from V1 to V2 before you change the cpu initialization structure. YH ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios

I understand Linux looks at the mptable and looks for IOAPIC entries. I meant where in Linuxbios do we configure the IOAPIC at FEC0 or we don't have to do anything? Linuxbios DOES do something to configure the IOAPICs of P64H2. Thank you, gin ___ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
