SMP or UP???

Hi all :))

I have an used Gigabyte GA-7ZXE mobo, with chipset VIA KT133A,
wearing a Duron 1000 processor, since December. AFAIK this mobo is uniprocessor (it has only a socket, that should be a good evidence...), but when booting I get these messages (I just show those relevant to the issue):

kernel: Linux version 2.4.21 (root@DervishD) (gcc version 3.2.2) #1 Wed Jul 2 17:25:21 CEST 2003
kernel: found SMP MP-table at 000fb210

What, SMP table?

kernel: hm, page 000fb000 reserved twice.
kernel: hm, page 000fc000 reserved twice.
kernel: hm, page 000f5000 reserved twice.
kernel: hm, page 000f6000 reserved twice.
kernel: Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.1
kernel: Virtual Wire compatibility mode.

Is this chipset then SMP capable?

kernel: OEM ID: VIA Product ID: KT133 APIC at: 0xFEE00000
kernel: Processor #0 Pentium(tm) Pro APIC version 17

What Pentium? This is an AMD mobo :??

kernel: I/O APIC #2 Version 17 at 0xFEC00000.
kernel: Enabling APIC mode: Flat.?Using 1 I/O APICs
kernel: Processors: 1

When booting some distros, like Knoppix, I have an 'Error: only
one processor found' log message.

kernel: Initializing CPU#0
kernel: Detected 1000.077 MHz processor.
kernel: Calibrating delay loop... 1992.29 BogoMIPS
kernel: CPU: L1 I Cache: 64K (64 bytes/line), D cache 64K (64 bytes/line)
kernel: CPU: L2 Cache: 64K (64 bytes/line)
kernel: CPU: AMD Duron(tm) stepping 00

Well, finally my Duron got detected...

This is not an issue, because the system seems to work OK, but
for me is very strange and I'm not sure wether this may cause problems or not...

Thanks in advance :)

Raul,

I have a Gigabyte GA-7VAX and get the same messages. It probably is normal, since the AMD CPU is functionally the same as an Intel one.
