   Folks!   
      
   I was running the AMD Phenom II X4-965 CPU here for about a year...basically    
   learning about SMP enabling my machine, etc, etc.   
      
   I figured with today's hardware and our beloved OS2 configuration the way it   
   is,   
   I won't be doing any further major upgrades for some time, and since I have a    
   working combo I'd just upgrade for a slightly better CPU, so I went to the    
   Phenom II X6 1100T, which is really the end of the road for the AM2+/AM3   
   combos.   
      
   So...I figured: OK, add 2 more CPUs to my CONFIG.SYS...right?   
      
   PSD=OS2APIC.PSD /P=6 /APIC   
      
   Well...not so fast...it appears I am running out of memory somewhere...the   
   real    
   problem is getting stuck on the blue 'PMSHELL' window when my 'startup.cmd'   
   VIO    
   window pops up, and nothing, I mean nothing get's executed. The VIO window   
   just    
   sits there...keyboard still seems active, the num-lock flickers, but the VIO    
   window or the PMSHELL do not accept any inputs.   
      
   Throttling this back to a 4 core configuration brings the system back to life   
   on   
   this X6 Phenom...   
      
   Sooo....the big question is: what am I missing here? Any ideas? Do I need to   
   do    
   a full 'hardware detection' boot next?   
      
   Thanks!
