LinuxQuestions.org - Slack 11 - Intel Core 2 Quad SMP Issue

I have core duo, so you'd probably want to change my 2cpus to 4cpus. I am running 2.6.20.14 right now.

processor options from my Core Duo:

Code:

CONFIG_SMP=y

CONFIG_X86_PC=y

CONFIG_MCORE2=y

CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y

CONFIG_X86_XADD=y

CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT=6

CONFIG_RWSEM_XCHGADD_ALGORITHM=y

CONFIG_GENERIC_CALIBRATE_DELAY=y

CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y

CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y

CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y

CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y

CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64=y

CONFIG_X86_GOOD_APIC=y

CONFIG_X86_INTEL_USERCOPY=y

CONFIG_X86_USE_PPRO_CHECKSUM=y

CONFIG_X86_TSC=y

CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y

CONFIG_NR_CPUS=2

CONFIG_SCHED_SMT=y

CONFIG_SCHED_MC=y

CONFIG_PREEMPT=y

CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y

CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y

CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y

CONFIG_X86_MCE=y

CONFIG_VM86=y

CONFIG_I8K=m

CONFIG_X86_MSR=y

CONFIG_X86_CPUID=y

in more human readable form, what I select is:

Code:

 

Symmetric multi-processing support -> Y

Subarchitecture type..

  (*)PC-compatible

Processor Family

  (*)Core 2/newer Xeon

HPET Timer Support -> Y

(2) Maximum number of CPUS      # change this to 4?

SMT Hyperthreading support -> Y

Multi-core scheduler support -> Y

Preemption Module ..

 (*) Preemptible Kernel (Low-latency desktop)

Machine Check Exception -> Y

/dev/cpu/*/msr -> y

/dev/cpu/*/cpuid -> y

High Memory support ..

 (*) 4GB

Memory model ..

 (*) Flat

64-bit memory and IO resources -> y

Allocate 3rd-level pagetables from hihmem -> y

MTRR -> y

Enable Kernel irq balancing -> y

Enable seccomp to safely compute untrusted bytecode -> y

Timer frequency ..

 (*) 1000 Hz

Support for hot-pluggable CPUs -> y  # need this for hibernate/suspend AFAIK

hth

{edit} i have not IIRC changed any CPU options since 2.6.19 so these should work for you too, with the aforementioned '# of cpus' change
