Just picked up a nice shiny new Netfinity 7100 Dual Xeon computer to run
as a proxy server ... but can't get the second CPU to work without it
hanging the boot process ...

a dmesg without SMP enabled shows the CPU(s) as:

the machine is up to date as of yesterday afternoon, for source code.

when I enable SMP and boot, it gets to where it starts the second CPU and
just sits there.  If I hit ctl-alt-del, it appears to shut everything down
properly and rebooot, so it isn't a system hang, it just doesn't seem to
process past that point ...

Everything else appears to be running great, just not that second CPU ...

Help?
