I did some googling. Seriously grasping at straws here. Do you have |
| 68 |
SMP enabled? If so, do you really have a multiprocessor or multicore |
| 69 |
machine? I ask beause I did find where someone else had SMP enabled and |
| 70 |
it shouldn't have been. I noticed it shows it is enabled in the config |
| 71 |
you posted earlier. Also, make sure you have the correct CPU selected |
| 72 |
too. I think you do tho from what I saw in the config. Also make sure |
| 73 |
you have the correct partitions in fstab too. I know I'm bad to mix |
| 74 |
those up sometimes or just leave out a "/" mark. |
| 75 |
|
| 76 |
Another thought, are you sure that the drive partitions are sda and not |
| 77 |
hda? I still use the old drivers and mine are hda but some are using |
| 78 |
the new drivers which are sda. Just wanting to make certain. Grasping |
| 79 |
at one more straw. ;-) |
| 80 |
|
| 81 |
I'll do some more thinking and put a little more wear and tear on google. |
