Hi, > My testboard is an older ASUS PCI/EISA dual-CPU board with a Neptune > chipset, running at 90 MHz still. (The second CPU was actually a 133 > MHz one, but that shouldn't matter.) sounds a little shaky, any idea what the stepping of the original CPU is? some of the earlier P5/90s didn't do SMP very well... checkout: http://sysdoc.pair.com/pentium.html to see if this chip supports SMP --- > I've grabbed all the CTM deltas from freefall's ftp area, and checked > out the most recent kernel source.

I think Chuck Robey <chuckr@Glue.umd.edu> would be the one to ask as to determining whether those CTM deltas are current, I wouldn't have a clue... --- > The SCSI controller is an AHA2742, but i didn't see SCSI errors, so it > must be more a VM thingie.
