198	crash Dell PowerEdge T105 server	Chuck McKinnis	pasha	"I have just installed RC4 on a Dell PowerEdge T105 server (dual-core Opteron CPU). The install went well, and the system booted OK.

When the ACPI wizard ran after install, it suggested that I added /SMP to the PSD line in config.sys, and installed the SMP kernel. I did, but after that the system wouldn't boot. The system got to the Snap Graphics splash, and then crashed. I tried switching to VGA mode, but the system still crashes just before switching to graphics mode.

This is the start of the error message I get:

Exception in module: OS2KRNL
TRAP 000e ERRCD=0000 ERACC=**** ERLIM=******** CPU=01
...
Internal revision 14.104a_SMP

After looking at the ACPI SMP FAQ, I tried changing /PIC to /APIC. That improves the situation slightly - the desktop is shown for about 10 seconds before the system crashes... If I boot the system using the original config.sys (Alt-F1->F2) the system boots. Alt-F1->F4 causes the same crash after 10 seconds as the normal boot.

To get the system booting, I went back to the installation config (Alt-F1->0) and changed to VGA mode again. Then the system boots - but without SMP of course.

Any tests I should perform to get SMP working?

A separate issue is the NIC, which is not supported. It's a Broaddcom BCM5722, which doesn't exist according to the Broadcom website. Perhaps it's a special Dell-only chip? I have hacked the B57.OS2 driver to support it, and it seems to be working fine.
