I have also been working with the same machine trying to get it to work under
linux.
Can you write and tell what kernel version you are using, what distribution and
what
options you compiled your kernel with? I have been trying to make it work with a
2.2.x
kernel - currently 2.2.6. I have never been able to get any of the 2.2.x kernels
to detect
APICs or more than one processor.
The machine was previously running with 2.0.33 and experiencing lockups at regular
intervals.
It would be very nice to talk to someone with a similar machine and find out what
you
have done and compare notes.
