The standard kernel works great for me. Is jumper J3 closed? to support Dual? I also added the following lines to my kernel. # 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=2 # number of busses options NAPIC=1 # number of IO APICs options NINTR=24 # number of INTs I know you said you added the top two. I added the bottom just because I don't like trusting defaults. mptable verified that they are right, but I know for SURE what is being used. Jim -- James E.
