RE: Athlon SMP blues - kernels 2.4.[9 13 15-pre4]

[Brian Raymond <braymond@fvc.com>]

Right from AMD's datasheet on the Athon XP..

Multiprocessing support: point-to-point topology, with number of processors
in SMP systems determined by chipset implementation 

Looks like it supports SMP.

Erm, no....

If this really is the case, then obviously my supplier doesn't know
either, as he's quite definitively stuck two of them on my mobo!
Linux happily detects two XP 1800+ CPUs on boot, but then both SMP
and UP kernels fail in this strange way. If they didn't boot at all, it
would almost be more helpful ;-)
