I'm going to get another (single cpu) box to use as workstation so I can re-configure this smp box for a real hacking platform in the next couple weeks... panics are still hard to deal with under X ;-). > >Hope that helps!

The boot messages from the bios should say something to the effect that both processors are there. The warm boot would only show one processor. I haven't seen that in a while now, so I think that's been fixed... > >-Matt > eric. -- erich@lodgenet.com http://rrnet.com/~erich erich@rrnet.com
