Here I am again. Thanks to your help I've got
my system running in headless mode. However,
in this mode, it only sees one of the dual-core
cpus. If I plug in (any old) VGA adapter, and
reboot (still in headless mode), it sees both.
Its an Intel Core2Duo processor on an Intel
D975XBX mobo, running FC5, 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5smp
kernel. Multi-cpu is enabled in the BIOS, and
the BIOS docs confirm that this board should
operate properly with no VGA, mouse or kbd.
My BIOS is at v. 1334, and there is one
further upgrade which doesnt refer to this
problem.
According to the BIOS support site, BIOS
support for the Core2Duo was only released
in v. 1334 on 12 July 2006, so maybe this
problem hasnt been seen before.
Any ideas (again)?
Cheers,
Terry.
