I finally do have my DL360 booting SMP. The fix was either using a stable snapshot from the 16th or using the compaq smartstart software to rebuild the machine as type "Linux OS" instead of "Other", which is what I had been using. I also have the trouble with my CD rom like others have reported, but I don't use the CD really after the install is complete and I'm too happy to have both cpu's working to really care :) --dustin -----Original Message----- From: Dustin Harris [mailto:dustinh@webtrends.com] Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2001 8:34 PM To: 'Mike Smith' Cc: 'freebsd-smp@freebsd.org' Subject: RE: Compaq DL360 Revisited I'm aware that Peter did fix the DL360 for most folks, but I appear to have a different problem. My current test platform is 4.2-RELEASE with Peter's patch applied. I've also attempted this with 4.2-STABLE from late last week which included the patch. You are correct though that I should pester Compaq some more... --dustin > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike Smith [mailto:msmith@freebsd.org] > Sent: Saturday, January 13, 2001 8:39 PM > To: Dustin Harris > Cc: 'freebsd-smp@freebsd.org' > Subject: Re: Compaq DL360 Revisited > > > > I've traced the problem to the following code in mp_machdep.c in the > > function start_ap: > > > > /* wait for pending status end */ > > while (lapic.icr_lo & APIC_DELSTAT_MASK) > > /* spin */ ; > > > > It appears that I just "spin".
