If you can get the bios boot string... the one that has lots of numbers and letters at the bottom of the boot screen (the one that tells you to press (x+x+x to enter setup) you can identify the board [usually]. This site should help. http://www.ping.be/bios There are alot of interesting utilities here. Some even go to the point of identifying your pci cards without even opening the computer. You will need a dos boot disk for this. Hope you can figure out what it is... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Otter" <otterr@telocity.com> Date: Thursday, October 19, 2000 5:55 pm Subject: FW: booting problems with SMP enabled > I sent this last night, but I never saw it on the list, so I'm > resending... > > I've got a new install of 4.1-RELEASE here. > Hardware consists of a dual processor board (unknown brand), > 2 Intel P2-300's, a single 128MB DIMM, onboard scsi > (disabled), on a 13GB IDE drive.
