-1. State of Supported Hardware
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- PowerSurge Architecture - tested on UMAX s900, Apple 9600
|
|
|
|
- The second processor on this machine boots up just fine and
|
|
|
|
- enters its idle loop. Hopefully a completely working SMP kernel
|
|
|
|
- on this machine will be done shortly.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- The code makes the assumption of only two processors. The changes
|
|
|
|
- necessary to work with any number would not be overly difficult but
|
|
|
|
- I don't have any machines with >2 processors so it's not high on my
|
|
|
|
- list of priorities. If anyone else would like do to the work email
|
|
|
|
- me and I can point out the places that need changed. If you have >2
|
|
|
|
- processors and don't want to add support yourself let me know and I
|
|
|
|
- can take a look into it.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- BeBox
|
|
|
|
- BeBox support hasn't been added to the 2.1.X kernels from 2.0.X
|
|
|
|
- but work is being done and SMP support for BeBox is in the works.
|
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
|
- CHRP
|
|
|
|
- CHRP SMP works and is fairly solid. It's been tested on the IBM F50
|
|
|
|
- with 4 processors for quite some time now.
