Hang-on, you mean the Linux 2.4.22 kernel is only finding one CPU? I though an early message said it was OK SMP i.e. 'top' shows 5 CPUs etc. If 2.4.22 does work, please can you try compiling up a 2.4.20 to see if that breaks. (there's a 2.4.16 on the *1.0* version of the demoCD.) If we can find the most recent version that fails to work, that will give us a clue as to what we're missing. Having the Xen boot output will helpful too. Has this machine got builtin-in remote console facilities that you could cut and paste from instead of setting up a serial line? Cheers, Ian |
