I can't boot ReactOS with MP HAL (but compiled with SMP=0) - it hangs in VMWare 4.5 on the "Loading disk.sys". I remember some time ago it hun on "Loading buslogic.sys" but I just deleted it.
Installation of WinXP in the same virtual machine goes with installing APIC HAL.
I tried investigating these problems, because interrupts are not being delivered to the uhci driver, in VM it's placed either on IRQ 9 if normal HAL is used, and on 0x19 if APIC mode is used. I'm currently out of ideas why it doesn't work.
WBR, Aleksey.

We all need to get VMWare 5.5 and start MP testing :)
The MP build will run on each computer which can run windows in apic mode. It will also run in vmware without smp support if the host is apic capable. It exist one problem. It is always copied halup.dll to hal.dll. I do always change the line with 'nameoncd' in halmp.xml and halup.xml.
