Just use the SMP kernel config and you should be fine.

FreeBSD will work fine if you have 3 CPUs (add one at a time). I don't know if the actual hardware would work ok with 3 CPUs though. -- John Baldwin From owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Nov 13 21:16:42 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 18C2716A4F5 for ; Mon, 13 Nov 2006 21:16:42 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from jon@seaholm.caamora.com.au) Received: from seaholm.caamora.com.au (seaholm.caamora.com.au [203.7.226.5]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 01BD643E42 for ; Mon, 13 Nov 2006 21:16:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jon@seaholm.caamora.com.au) Received: (from jon@localhost) by seaholm.caamora.com.au (8.11.1/8.11.1) id kADLFf900767; Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:15:41 +1100 (EST) Message-ID: <20061114081541.64707@caamora.com.au> Date: Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:15:41 +1100 From: jonathan michaels Cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org References: <20061110131740.25998@caamora.com.au> <200611131218.27624.jhb@freebsd.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.84e In-Reply-To: <200611131218.27624.jhb@freebsd.org>; from John Baldwin on Mon, Nov 13, 2006 at 12:18:27PM -0500 Organisation: Caamora, PO Box 144, Rosebery NSW 1445 Australia Subject: Re: compaq proliant 5500 X-BeenThere: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: FreeBSD SMP implementation group List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 21:16:42 -0000 On Mon, Nov 13, 2006 at 12:18:27PM -0500, John Baldwin wrote: > On Thursday 09 November 2006 21:17, jonathan michaels wrote: > > greetings all, > > > > i have just aquired a compaq proliant 5500 with 2 (out of the available trimed for brevity > > FreeBSD will work fine if you have 3 CPUs (add one at a time).
