Hi All, This is kinda-off topic... I've just aquired a second CPU for my P6DNF SuperMicro motherboard... It's allready got a P-Pro 200 (256) Stepping #9 in it, and the new one is a P-Pro 200 (256) Stepping 6. The machine refuses to boot - I was just at the point of blaming FreeBSD, when I realised - it's not even getting to the boot loader... The moment the machine tries to access the Floppy, IDE or SCSI to boot it just locks dead... Has anyone else got any experience mixing odd stepping CPU's? - According to intel they dont 'recomend' it, but say it should work (a bit like running a 256k P-Pro with a 512k P-Pro - not recomended, but apparently it does work :-) Regards, Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
