When I installed the OS, the system was recognized as dual proc and an SMP kernel was set to boot by default. Unfortunately the boot will hang with the last message showing something like "Unpacking system image". This is as far as I can go. I can boot from a single proc kernel, although I do get a few messages about being unable to determine the AGP aperture. /var/log/messages has this text Oct 7 15:24:43 p4test kernel: Linux agpgart interface v0.101 (c) Dave Jones Oct 7 15:24:43 p4test kernel: agpgart: unable to determine aperture size.

Oct 7 15:24:43 p4test kernel: agpgart: agp_backend_initialize() failed. Oct 7 15:24:43 p4test kernel: agpgart-serverworks: probe of 0000:00:00.1 failed with error -22 FC4 originally installed with the kernel version reporting to be "Linux version 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4". I ran up2date and brought everything current including the kernel. I am now booting with the kernel version at "2.6.13-1.1526_FC4". The single processor the kernel is reporting is "Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU - S 1266MHz stepping 04". Does anyone know how to boot this system with an SMP kernel? Barring that, does anyone have ideas I may be able to try? Best regards, Bruce McPeek </BODY> </HTML>
