Hi, Stephen !
Yep, this was also my thought,
but this kernel "kernel-largesmp-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.x86_64"
crashes as i remarked ...
Martin, I recently met the same issue on getting a 4600 up and running
with all cores. The machine in question was running SuSE I'm afraid.
We provided an updated kernel for it, with
CONFIG_NR_CPUS set to 128
This is a 2.6.16 kernel as these later kernels have better NUMA features.
I would advise getting a recent (say) Fedora kernel source RPM and
configuring it up, or maybe better one from the SL 5 beta.
Or even taking the 2.6.9 EL kernel source and setting CONFIG_NR_CPUs
higher.
