That's why I wanted to find out everything just in Linux. This server is on Intel mainboard with Intel chassis, but it's not compatible with Win2k3, that's why they gave it to me for Linux :) Sometimes it's unstable under Linux too. I feel that the problem is in the hardware, may be CPU settings, cache etc... I set "acpi=ht pci=routeirq" to make it work at all. It has newest available BIOS installed. Here is what Intel say about supported CPUs for this mobo: SL623 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron B0 512 KB Micro-FCPGA 0F24 SL5Z9 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron B0 512 KB Micro-FCPGA 0F24 SL6YT 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron D1 512 KB Micro-FCPGA 0F29h SL6JY 2 GHz N/A N/A 400 MHz 0.13 micron C1 512 KB Micro-FCPGA 0F27h But none of them has HT! And my configuration - has! It's a puzzle for me. >> From now I'll use Intel recomendation to run their utility to resolve all >> questions. >You mean this, right? >http://www.intel.com/support/proces...b/cs-001632.htm >Greetings >Bernd Yeah. Definitely Intel has some secret tables to identify CPU :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
