2569.0. "Dual-Pentium Pro hangs with SMP" by ATZIS3::JETZINGER_J () Thu Apr 10 1997 08:01

    A customer has a system with Dual-Pentium Pro CPU 200MHz 
    (Non-Digital HW, it's a Tyan 1668 mainboard).
    Disk controller: Adpatec 2940UW, BIOS V1.23
    Root harddisk: Quantum XP32150W.
    The system runs with SCO OpenServer Enterprise 5.0.0.
    When we install SCO SMP to activate the second CPU, the system can't
    boot anymore.                     
    The systems hangs when it loads the hardware drivers at letter "G".
    
    The patches rs500d, net100, oss449a and AHS 5.2 have been installed
    without solving the problem.
    
    Has anyone experience with Dual-Pentium Pro systems ?
    Thanks for any help.

2569.1Is it enabled..., better yet..., is it certified?PCBUOA::MCQUADEst*rs = 1x4x9Thu Apr 10 1997 16:049
    
    	Not that I would know, but..., is smp enabled in the the BIOS?
    
    	And..., has this board been certified by SCO?  If not..., sell them
    a PRIORIS.  After all, we have no problem with SMP.

2569.2system ran with WNTATZIS3::JETZINGER_JFri Apr 11 1997 06:209
    I couldn't get an official statement till now if Tyan mainboards are
    certified with SCO.
    The server ran with Windows NT with both CPUs before we installed SCO.
    
    I also would like to sell him a Digital server, but the customer
    wants to use his one. He certainly pays for our investigations on this 
    problem.
