Hello SMP-users, I use the Asus P55T2P4D (dual Pentium PCI/EISA) mainboard, 128MByte EDO Memory (4*32MByte), 512kByte 2.level Cache Module Asus CM1 Rev. 1.6, 2 Intel Pentium233MMX Processors, stepping 3, kernel 2.0.35, symbios 20810 SCSI controller The Problem : In single CPU mode the board is stable (that means 200 kernel compiles using make -j without an error), no matter which CPU of the two is used! If both cpus are plugged in, the board is stable too if I use the non SMP kernel, if I use the SMP enabled kernel and switch of Dual CPU support by jumper on the motherboard the board remains stable. I conclude: RAM, CPUs, and Cache ok! If I use the SMP-kernel with dual cpu support enabled on the motherboard the 2 CPUs are recognized (each 460 bogomips) but the board gets unstable, 1 of 5 kernel compiles gets signal 11. The system gets stable again if I switch off the 2. level Cache, if I reduce Cache size by jumper to 256k I get approximately 1 out of 10 faulty kernel compiles. This happens with Bios revision td5e0107 and 0106. I think the Cache module is broken, but why does it work in single CPU mode, maybe there is something wrong on the board itself? Who has experience with this board? Which Cache module can I use instead? Thanks Norbert
