Hello,
We just got our new Dual Opteron 246 box and I'm having some problems getting
our second CPU to load correctly with a SMP kernel.
Wondering if anybody could offer some assistance, or pointers.
Using the Tyan K8S Pro S2882G3NR board. 3ware 8506 4 port SATA card.
I've also tried Disabling ACPI in the kernel and bios, then one at a time.
Below are partial dmesg, mptable and kern config. Unfortunately, with
different combinations of the NO_MIXED_MODE on and off and acpi enabled and
disabled, I am unable to get SMP to launch our second CPU for use.
Anybody experienced the same problem?? Would -CURRENT be ideal over 5.2.1-p4 for
me? Note that the GENERICicized SMP kernel also does not launch the second
processor.
Any pointers, helpful hints, etc?
Thanks,
-c

So I see that mptable seems to see both processors, am I assuming correct here?
