FC3 (kernel 2.6.9) on R710

[Robert von Bismarck]

Do you use the smp- kernel (uname -a will tell you) ?
 
But even then, FC3 is really old, I don't think it will support that many CPU's out of the box or the newer chipset features.
I'd suggest upgrading to a newer distribution (CentOS 5.x or even FC11), and if you really need FC3 then run it in a virtual machine (VMware, kvm, virtualbox, etc).
 
Cheers,
 
Robert

	FC3 (kernel 2.6.9 at Dell R710 with dual X5570 (quad core)) shows the following errors during boot up (W/WO HT enabled at BIOS)

	 

	...

	Processor #23 invalid (max 16)

	....

	ACPI: [APIC:0x00] ignored 16 entries of 32 found 

	....

	CPU: Unsupported number of the siblings 16 

	 

	Also, the /proc/cpuinfo shows only one physical CPU (total 8 CPU with HT enabled, 4 CPU with HT disabled) is used

	Physical id : 0

	Siblings      : 1

	 

	Any patches for these problems.
