I see from the archive (and the lack of apparant response) that it isn't a suprise that SMP doesn't work (or at least it also didn't work for someone else that tried it), but I also appear to have a keyboard problem. The console tends to update keyboard characters slowly most of the time and sometimes lose keystrokes entirely. RedHat 7.3 doesn't appear to be having this problem so it doesn't look to be hardware. While I will probably end up running RedHat on the boxes (for other support reasons) I am interested in if possible benchmarking with FreeBSD (there are a couple of Sysconnect GIG E cards in each of two boxes) against Linux. If FreeBSD doesn't want to run that won't be possible. Anybody know of a solution to either or both problems? Output from dmesg from the machine: Copyright (c) 1992-2002 The FreeBSD Project.
