The bios really isn't doing anything wrong, more like its not doing
anything.  It probably just isn't setting the second CPU.  Linux, as far
as I know, will set up the second CPU for you, and it only letting you
know what's going on.

Even easier; agp_try_unsupported is a kernel command line parameter.  If
you're using LILO, boot with the line "linux agp_try_unsupported=1" or
the like, or put "append="agp_try_unsupported=1"" in your lilo.conf
file.
