Some people tried some MP spec settings in the BIOS and it worked, some people said it did not work for them. We are having the same problem here with around 12 (!) servers here every now and then and are not getting any helpfull support from HP. Could someone who had the problem (discussed in February 2003 here) contact me and tell me if they are still experiencing the problem or tell me how they solved it? I am suspecting that it is a HP firmware problem, but specifically triggered by the linux kernel.
