Hi all,
I can't seem to find any info about Dual Xeon and Xenomai (well, ADEOS,
really). Is this a configuration that is expected to work? What about
smp Athlon? or DualCore Athlon? (I think Opteron is not in the picture
yet, right?)
For the dual Xeon, I'm able to patch and build fine, but boot stalls
after the hardware has been initialized by the init process.
(i.e. The last line I get from Fedora Core 3 Init 2.85 booting says:
Initializing hardware... storage network, audio done [ok])
I've done what I think are correct:
- turned off HyperThreading in both bios and in kernel config
- disabled REGPARM
The Processor family is set to Pentium 4 and sub arch is set to Generic
architecture (X86_GENERICARCH), but I've also tried Pc Compatible (X86)
to the same effect.
I used an adeos-r9 patch that came with RTAI, and I at least got the
system to boot. But RTAI puked when loading the SMP scheduler....
Is there anything else I might do to make this work? What is the
confidence level in SMP support?
Thanks,
-Nate
