Thanks to Colin for pointing me on the way to a solution. To get the system configured correctly for SMP, you have to have the APIC enabled by selecting an OS type that Compaq recognizes as SMP capable. Linux and WinNT/2000 are valid choices. My setup version did not have Linux as a choice, so I used WinNT/2000 and all seems well. --Chris On Tuesday, April 29, 2003, at 11:51 AM, Chris Boyd wrote: > I was not able to find the APIC config information on the HP/Compaq > web site, but I was able to restore the server config info partition > on the hard disk using the diagnostic floppies.
