generally this is a bios problem, but could you attach the full dmesg for
information?

Comment 2 Loki chan 2003-08-11 11:15:17 EDT

Created attachment 93576 [details]
dmesg

Comment 3 Loki chan 2003-08-11 13:03:41 EDT

if that is bios problem, is there any suggestion for me to fix this issue? like
config/update the bios, or apply patch on the kernel, etc...

Comment 4 Arjan van de Ven 2003-08-15 09:22:55 EDT

there's no sign of any HT being detected at all in your dmesg; I'd suggest
looking for a bios upgrade...

Comment 5 Loki chan 2003-08-17 15:21:40 EDT

the problem was solved once I upgraded the bios.
