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.

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.
