Is there any advantage of Intel MP 1.4 over 1.1 specification?
🙂 ), 1.4 is just a stricker specs of 1.1. • Why does the clock drift so rapidly when I run linux SMP? This is known problem with IRQ handling and long kernel locks in the 2.0 series kernels. Consider upgrading to a later 2.1 kernel (not garenteed to work). From Jakob Oestergaard: Or, consider running xntpd. That should keep your clock right on time. (I think that I’ve heard that enabling RTC in the kernel also fixes the clock drift. It works for me! but I’m not sure whether that’s general or I’m just being lucky) • Why are my CPU’s numbered 0 and 2 instead of 0 and 1 (or some other odd numbering)? The CPU number is assigned by the MB manufacturer and doesn’t mean anything. Ignore it. • My SMP system is locking up all the time. Black screen, nothing in the logs. Help! If you’re running a 2.0 kernel, consider upgrading to later 2.0.32+ kernels or apply Leonard Zubkoff’s deadlock patch. If you still have deadlocks, apply Ingo Molnar’s deadlock detection patch and post the results (agains
