SMP Sparc32...
I have a Sparc 10... just got a v2.25 PROM and a pair of Ross Dual 55MHz
modules. A couple of things (some not Debian related):
- I have to set the system buss to 72MHz (4x16.6MHz) or it will never
complete post
- Even though each module is a Dual processor module the PROM only shows
one processor per card... which is what Linux also what sees
- When booting into Linux with a non-SMP kernel (2.2.17pre1) it detects
both processors and boots fine until the SCSI driver loads. It then
locks where it would normally show the results of the buss scan. The
debian 2.2.15 (I think) kernel that I tftpboot'd with also gives the
identical results.
I'll try an SMP kernel later but this has got me a bit perplexed...
almost like I forgot a jumper or something that scans for multiple
processors on an MBus module (like SCSI LUNs).
