I've got a tyan tomcat III and a gigabyte GA-586DX both duals, ive
run SMP kernels on both ok when they only had one cpu. On the more recent
kernels however i've had this problem when only one cpu was in (latest
2.0.30 31, and 2.1.59-62) I actually even had it on the dual when it HAD 2
cpu's, the kernel was compiled on my other box and when i compiled it on
the dual it worked fine.
In all cases cat /proc/cpuinfo showed a "phantom" 8068 cpu. For
some reason the kernel thought it had a cpu that wasnt there. Dont konw
why i've only had this with more recent kernels.
