Re: SMP, again
. . . and top still shows no signs of a second processor :( Am I still missing something? It's dual P-II's (gateway ns7000) rick TOP, as it is normally shipped, does not show a second CPU. It is designed for single-CPU systems only. If you want to get a multiple-CPU top, look on http://www-isia.cma.fr/~forissie/smp_kernel_patch/index.html This site carries several patches for 2.0.x kernels, as well as patches and programs which will show multiple CPU's. Also, check out sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/system/status/xstatus for other programs which show multiple-CPU statistics. Taren -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

SMP, again
hmm. I don't seem to be getting this. From what I've read, All I need for an SMP kernel is to change two lines to /usr/doc/linux/Makefile, so that it reads # NOTE! SMP is experimental. See the file Documentation/SMP.txt # SMP = 2 # # SMP profiling options and then do the normal make, lilo, and reboot sequence. After which, top should show two loads rather than one. Instead, though, I still only get one load. I've tried the ocumentation, but it all seems to be lists of what hasn't been done (SMP.txt) and technical writing about how SMP is implemented (smp.tex and the howto). rick -- These opinions will not be those of ISU until it pays my retainer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: SMP, again
My understanding of this was that SMP was a logical flag which, when set to 1, would automatically handle any number of processors up to 16 or so. Perhaps 16 is going a bit far but it works fine with 2. J. Goldman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's dual P-II's (gateway ns7000) WAG We have an IBM PC Server 325 with dual P IIs, and SMP is only supported in the unstable kernels (seems some system boards use a not quite standard chipset). I compiled 2.1.96 and SMP was fine, but there was too much other weird stuff to put up with :) /WAG -- Nathan Norman MidcoNet - 410 South Phillips Avenue - Sioux Falls, SD 57104 mailto://[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.midco.net finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP Key: (0xA33B86E9) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
