What are you using to take care of the dual-core (not quite the same as 
dual-CPU) configuration? Some "experts" say that the standard IBM SMP 
feature does not work with dual-core systems and that you should try the 
ACPI stuff available in the BetaZone to who purchased the Software 
Subscription Services.

I can report that my AMD dual-core machine is working with eCS 1.2R and 
ver. 2.13 of the ACPI package.

Do you have the /SMP parameter on the PSD=OS2APIC.PSD line in 
CONFIG.SYS? What happens if you replace "SMP by "UNI"?
