( Jay A Estabrook ) SMP does seem to work on most of our [Compaq] boxes with 2 or more CPUs. That includes :

It does not include :

  • AS2100A (LYNX)
  • TurboLaser bigboys (8200/8400)

( Alpha Processor Inc ) SMP support has been qualified for all API SMP systems starting from later 2.2-series kernels (approximately kernel 2.2.7). At the time of writing, that is :

  • DP264
  • UP2000
See API's support website for more info.
