SMP on Compaq ProLiant 4500

Hello.

I've read  http://www.van-dijk.net/mailarchive/cpqlin0005/0016.html and also
http://www.cpqlinux.com/pl4500.html.

We have the same problem - we have 15 Compaq ProLiant 4500 servers and 
the only OS where we succesfully used SMP feature of that servers was 
Windows 2000 [and maybe NT].

We tried Linux [kernel 2.2 and 2.4], OpenBSD 3.3, FreeBSD 5, Solaris 
9... computers was working, but they used allways only 1 of 2 or 4 of 
100 MHz CPUs.

Has anybody experiences it this area? [We already contacted Mr. John Cagle,
the answer was to use Windows or UnixWare or OpenServer, but we want to use Linux.]

Can you give us advice how to enable SMP on Linux [or BSD or Solaris or 
... ???]?

Can you recommend us some patch for some kernel and settings of its 
configuration [file .config...]? Source codes will be coolest - maybe we 
can cooperate to finish such solution - there are many Linux experts 
with programmer's skills [Slovak Technical University, Commenius 
University... we have very close contact with strong intelectual and 
technical potential... and we belong to it].

Thanks in advance.

Good Bye.
