Actually just ``option HAVE_MP_TABLES=1'' should be sufficient. At least if you have an appropriate MP table in LinuxBIOS. This has been used almost exclusively with the rest of the SMP support so there might be a glitch or two. But it should be fairly straight forward to get going. If you want an example to look at check out the mainboard/supermicro/p4dc6 directory. Which is quite solid so far. Eric
