I don't know about the rest of you, but did you notice the signature? 8-cores! That is freak'n sweet! Honestly, I'm not positive what Hardy will handle in the amount of cores. Maybe installing or running the
Server Edition of Ubuntu? I found this on the Ubuntu forum, although this guy talks more code than the back of a 'My Book' ... so I'm not sure of the answer, but this very well could be your issue to getting things going.
- Code: Select all
Code:
cat /boot/config-2.6.24-19-generic | grep NR_CPUS
change config-2.6.24-19-generic to fit your current running kernel.
Even despite what Ubuntu supports, it's easy enough to recompile the kernel.
I believe the short answer you're looking for is 8.
Which typically this would be dual quads.
For 4way configurations you need AMD Opteron 8 series, and MP Capable XEONs.
It is theoretically possible to modify the kernel to work in a NUMA based architecture with high-speed interconnects to create a somewhat virtual SMP environment without special Opterons or XEONs, at that point you'd definitely need a custom kernel. (vSMP)
