I'm trying to solve a echo problem... The system is Centos 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp (SMP) CentOS release 4.3 (Final). And the Box is Dual Intel Xeon CPU 2.80GHz with 2 GB memory. It appears that CPU1 in not taking any interrupts - What steps do I need to do bring up CPU1 and share IRQ requests for a Linux noob?
