https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=328471#c3 --- Comment #3 from Bernard Delley 2007-09-28 05:13:47 MST --- the problem is with the Intel DG33TL board (using G33 northgate chipset) (this board is attractive for Beowulf computing: onboard vga, good onboard Gb/s chip.) latest bios rev 0276 is installed, the appearance of the enable/disable secondary cores switch is changed, but there is no way to make more than one processor accessible. same problem occurs with E6600 core2duo, only one recognized in linux Q6600 core2quad older version, same problem only one recognized. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(default installation ends stuck with black screen right after disable screen) so possibly acpi lets it only see 1 cpu instead of 4. I attach the boot.msg from the openSUSE-10.2-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso which is running now. of course it shows acpi=off is there a manual option right at the screen with the acpi disable option to get further, or at least extract info about the failing installation? [btw with the other mainboard mentioned I have no problems with recognizing 4 cpu, dont need acpi disabled -- the other board is less desirable for other reasons] -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Not sure what a disable screen is. If ACPI on doesn't work that needs to be fixed. It'll probably still need a boot log and acpidmp output. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
