Hey,

I got a Compaq Proliant 800 dual pentium pro (200mhz) box recently. A couple
of days ago I installed FreeBSD 4.2 on it, re-compiling the kernel for my
ISDN card *and* smp support.  SMP seemed to work fine, and so did ISDN after
some tinkering ...

Today, I nuked the disk partitions and installed Windows to test ISDN (had
some problems with the card that are resolved now). The ISDN card is now in
another machine.

Now, I just formatted the disks and installed FreeBSD. I re-compiled the
kernel for smp support without any problems - however, on boot it simply
hangs:

--
Changing APIC ID for IO APIC #0 from 0 to 2 on chip
Programming 24 pins in IOAPIC #0
IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0
--

I visited #freebsd on UnderNet and somebody pointed me towards this -->
http://potter.ieee.uh.edu/compaq.html

So ... I booted from the Compaq Smartstart CD (v4.70), and had a look around
in the hardware configuration for APIC settings ... but guess what, I didn't
see anything to do with "APIC" settings.  :(

I'd very much appreciate some help here ...


Thanks, Andy.
