Not just that is should > be increased? the program 'mptable' (on the SMP web page) will analyze your board and create a definitive "options" list for your config file. The defaults are set to the minimums to avoid kernel bloat. I want to keep extended examination of the MP table out of the kernel, again to avoid bloat, hence the mptable tool. Maybe I should make the message suggest mptable? --- > However then came: > BIOS basemem (633K) != RTC basemem (640K), setting to BIOS value > unknown bus type: 'XPRESS' > > Followed by panic... > Argh, haven't had time to study what it would like to know about the bus. > If it is something special, anyone that has enough information to do > something about it? > ... > Well, it worked in earlier releases, so I quickly commented out the panic() > and continued. Just didn't have the patience :) if you don't need to use anything on the XPRESS bus it should be simple, I'll look at it later today... --- > Then: > Warning: current SMP kernel only tested with 2 CPUs. > Please report the results to: > to continue... > Application Processor #3 failed! > panic (cpu#0): > > Yup, thats it.
