Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello... I just noticed that i can inside my BIOS switch from MPS (Multi Processor Specification ?) 1.1 to 1.4, the later is noticed as "for future use", but when i enable it, the kernel says in dmesg that he found a MPS 1.4...so it seems to work, at least it claims to. Question: Whats the difference between MPS 1.1 and 1.4 from Kernel-sight, the system (ASUS P2B-DS, now Dual PIII/850/100 and 2.4.3, RH7.1) ran 2 years with MPS 1.1 and PIII/450/100-CPUs on Kernel 2.2.12, so i see no need to flip this switch and go to MPS 1.4...or does it make sense with the 2.4.x Kernels now ? Interesting is that with MPS 1.1 the Kernel puts three devices (aic7xxx, usb-uhci and eth0) on IRQ 10, with MPS 1.4 it puts the same three devices on IRQ 19...so there seems to be difference. Solong.. Frank. -- Frank Schneider, . Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO. ... -.-
