Better late than never. I've been unable to follow the smp list for
awhile.
Just today I got the 3.0-snap of 7/8/97 working, in SMP mode on an AMI
Goliath motherboard with 4 200MHz PPros, two PCI busses and an EISA
bus. The disk is an Adaptec 2940.
I had to explicitly set NCPU=4 otherwise it would hang during
processor discovery. I had thought the default for NCPU was 4, I
guess not.
I sporadic failure of commands, basic ones make, cmp, ... with an
unknown failure, code = 0 message. I was looking through the smp list
for any references to this problem when I came upon your request.
Is the snap release terribly old?
