[64studio-devel] dual core Xeon won't boot

Hi Jason,

So you've got a total of four CPU cores there? We've only tested 1x 
dual-core CPU or 2x single core CPUs in-house so far.

That's a new one for us. Is the CD-ROM error the only thing stopping the 
machine from booting, or are there other errors? Is the CD-ROM attached 
to an Intel IDE controller on the motherboard?
