All the code I've seen requires that you build either an ACPI table or an Intel MP 1.x table.
I'll assume you meant APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) instead of ACPI. (Isn't that Advanced Computer Power Interface?) Or is ACPI something different? (too many acronyms)
Looks like I have to build both APIC and Intel MP tables; I am not too excited about that. I guess I'll just printk() everything and hardwire everything in to start with. I don't even think I need to store the information where the bios would; I just need to assign variables. I have no idea how we are going to do autodetection..
I am working with kernel 2.4.0-test1; the only file I believe I need to edit is mpparse.c. Does this sound right to everybody?
