Terry,

I am using document "Intel MP spec 1.4, July 1995, rev -004"

section B.4.1 says:

INIT IPIs can be used with systems based on the 82489DX APIC, or on systems
that are based on multiple Pentium (735/90, 815/100) processors.

THis board has 2:

CPU: Pentium (129.33-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x52b  Stepping=11
  Features=0x3bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC>

these looks like 815@ parts to me...

I wrote code to parse the MP config table and print the results.  It finds
the table in the BIOS:

As the above printout shows, the system is using an MP configuration table.
we have changed the cpu_nmbr to reflect the fact that the AP is #2, NOT
#1.  this change allows the kernel to boot without hanging, (default AP #1
hangs...).  we are monitoring the APIC error registors and they seem happy.
