That's what I'm trying to find out with 2.2.6 on the second machine as mentioned both machines are gigabyte GA586DX (dual Pentium motherboards). (I've upgraded the processor in the second machine to a 200MMX now as one 133 was way too slow. One thing this has told me is that even if people here do complain about the poor SMP support, it's really noticeable moving back to UP) > The second machine has a noise generator on the bus.

Ah, that would be this : lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port I'll turn it off from the BIOS next time I get a chance, although it's been configured on the second machine all the time it was running SMP. > I also notice that the interrupt is a shared PCI interrupt in both cases. > > You should try to do something about this for performance reasons as well, > but this *may* be where the problem is lurking. At the very least, it's > a suspicious "coincidence". How do I do something about this? (I Hope that's not too stupid a question!) Thanks, Steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
