I got this with my Tyan Tomcat II, when my processors got fried by a pair of dodgy fans, and I had to run with a single borrowed one for a while. Changing the jumper on the motherboard to single-CPU mode made no difference. In my case, the kernel crashed as soon as it tried to activate the second CPU, I think. It was a few months ago, though.
------------ <RANT> The fans were bought from Simply Computers, in the UK, and they are still refusing to replace the processors. One of them ran OK in a single-CPU Win95 box, so was declared perfect, and the other was replaced by a year-old S-SPEC 6 Pentium, which is also unacceptable. </RANT>
