So, basically you've been running SMP on your dual PPro machine...

My dmesg says:
Linux version 2.2.13 (root@bdg) (gcc version 2.95.2 19991109 (Debian
GNU/Linux)) #6 SMP Mon Feb 14 16:22:26 JAVT 2000
mapped APIC to ffffe000 (00229000)
mapped IOAPIC to ffffd000 (0022a000)

I need a simple explanation (ie: layman's terms).
Does this "mapped" thing mean that the multi-processor board is detected?
