SMP on Compaq ProLiant 4500
Hello.
I've read http://www.van-dijk.net/mailarchive/cpqlin0005/0016.html and also
http://www.cpqlinux.com/pl4500.html.
We have the same problem - we have 15 Compaq ProLiant 4500 servers and the only OS where we succesfully used SMP feature of that servers was Windows 2000 [and maybe NT].
We tried Linux [kernel 2.2 and 2.4], OpenBSD 3.3, FreeBSD 5, Solaris 9... computers was working, but they used allways only 1 of 2 or 4 of 100 MHz CPUs.
Has anybody experiences it this area? [We already contacted Mr. John Cagle, the answer was to use Windows or UnixWare or OpenServer, but we want to use Linux.]
Can you give us advice how to enable SMP on Linux [or BSD or Solaris or ... ???]?
Can you recommend us some patch for some kernel and settings of its configuration [file .config...]? Source codes will be coolest - maybe we can cooperate to finish such solution - there are many Linux experts with programmer's skills [Slovak Technical University, Commenius University... we have very close contact with strong intelectual and technical potential... and we belong to it].
Thanks in advance.
Good Bye.

Ask him (again) if Compaq is willing to release the specs for their SMP scheme. Without that, Linux is out if business...

Only by doing some programming. And that depends on having some documentation.
