IBM NETFINITY 5600 SERVER - dual process

aghhhh stop yelling...
Modify the Kernel??? Really how do you do that again?

Okay.. check the bios for plugin play and other misc tidbits. The problem here is that bios isn't telling the install that their is a second processor. And yes NT setupshould display the second processor in the first blue OS loading screen. Keep looking at that bios there has got to be something you are missing. Turn things off turns things on, it there somewhere.

Don't shout...

One question, have you tried to reinstall NT again since you got the bios to recognise your 2nd processor?, if you haven't do it now and it should be ok

If you hace tried that basically your bios is not detecting your 2nd processor properly, use the utilities on the Netfinity Manager to troubleshoot problem
Read your server documentation and when you have found what was wrong do a reinstall on NT again

Good luck

Sounds like you installed NT when the system only recognized one processor so NT was built with the UNI-processor HAL. two choices.

1. Rebuild NT and as long as the BIOS recognizes NT you should be all set as the other post have indicated.

2. IBM may have a NT HAL utility that will update it to MULTI-processor or you can use microsofts UPTOMP utility from the resource kit.

Good luck
