SMP on 2xSM50?
Hey there,
Is anyone successfully running Linux on SMP sm50 (thats a 50Mhz with no
cache) Sparc? I have a Sparc 10 that runs Debian 2.2r2 fine in
uniprocessor but periodically freezes/halts when running with both procs.
It boots (most of the time) and runs for a few minutes. The /proc/cpuinfo
shows both CPUs, and that they are online.
I've tried both the 2.2.18 and 2.2.17 SMP kernel packages, as well as
building my own 2.2.18 kernel. Same results all around. If I install
Solaris 8, it complains that cache-less cpus are not supported in MP, and
boots off processor 0(shutting the other one off). Is that an issue with
Linux?
Thanks in advance,
