Scyld Beowulf doesn't like Gigabyte GA-6vxdr7 motherboard

[Carpenter, Dean]

Wow - no comments at all on this.  Anywhere - I've asked in a couple of
places.  Does anyone know of any SMP issues with 2.2.17 at all ?

Hi All -

Just got some eval equipment in today to play with, with the Gigabyte
GA-6vxdr7 motherboards in them.  The NICs show up as EtherExpressPro 10/100
nics, pretty normal.  These are dual P3 boards with dual 933 cpus and 512meg
memory.

The stage 1 boot goes fine, it gets an IP and grabs the stage 2 kernel fine.
It's during the boot and init of the dual cpus that it barfs ...  It leaves
this on screen :

  :
  :
CPU map: 3
Booting processor 1 eip 2000
Setting warm reset code and vector
1.
2.
3.
Asserting INIT.
Deasserting INIT.
Sending STARTUP #1.
After apic_write.
Before start apic_write.
Startup point 1.

And there it sits.

There's some more above the CPU map: 3 there, I can provide that as well.  I
have to run right now, but tomorrow I'll try the non-SMP kernel, see if it
will actually boot.

Otherwise, any ideas ?
