Some earlier BIOSes (BIOSi?) had problems with the statclock. You must compile a customized kernel. This what mine includes for SMP: # Mandatory: options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O # Optional, these are the defaults plus 1: options NCPU=2 # number of CPUs options NBUS=3 # number of busses options NAPIC=1 # number of IO APICs options NINTR=24 # number of INTs -- Danny J.
