I have a proliant 7000 compaq server with 2 procs installed, and room for four. I did a custom kernel as well as SMP default options included (uncommented) from GENERIC. My current kernel, which is a go, built/installed fine, no errors. So first of all, what is the command to see if I have two procs installed posted to terminal, and second, if 2nd cpu1 is not showing, what is the next step? Build World? Very confusing reading some of the documents, nothing conrete nor clear how to do so. It appears that it should just recognize both cpu0 and cpu1, but it isnt. Lastely, in TOP, I am not able to get cpu0 display at all. Howto would be appreciated, any command you suggest, I surely will be able to follow. Anything you type, is greatly appreciated, and I am a firmly addicted to FREEBSD and promote it to all DOZe users I come accross.

I'm in the planning stage of an upgrade to my aging hardware, and have some general technical questions that I hope someone may be able to theorize about to help me determine if it might be 'worth the wait'. The mini-ITX form factor appeals to me as an always-up workstation. In looking around, I spot a dual-processor board from Via (epia-dp) which, I suspect, will be vaporware for at least another couple of quarters but I have hope that it would materialize eventually. If not, the epia-sp model is already on the market, and the cn400<->vt8237 chipset looks on paper to be relatively impressive compared Via's earlier offerings. I've recently taken up a hobby that requires actual crunching ability so it may make more sense to invest in a separate 'mainstream' system to attack the heavyweight problems on an as-needed basis. Firstly, I've not found a whole lot of info about the hardware but there are some general peeks at prototype boards, and some general info about the chipset. http://www.epiacenter.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=405 http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/c-series/cn400/ Here are my questions: - Nehemiah CPU/{Via northbridge} MP vs. FreeBSD SMP impl. Can anyone enlighten or theorize about if it may 'work' or not, and how well compared to 'reference' SMP hardware. - vt8237 USB2: I have (will have) a device which squirts data over the USB as fast as possible. I understand that some motherboards have inferior USB2 controllers. For the life of me, I cannot find many actual benchmark tests of this. Anyone know off hand whether Via's vt8237 USB is any good (+ as supported under FreeBSD.) - vt8237 GigE: Via makes noise about their 1Ghz northbridge<->southbridge interconnect (cn400/vt8237), but doesn't say much about their vt8237<->'Via connectivity' interface shown on the above diagram. It appears that their GigE implementation, pci(-x?), and a lot of other things (although *not* SATA happily), are driven through this interface. GigE support seems to requires an extra chip ('VIA Velocity'). Any thoughts on the architecture and/or experience with FreeBSD driver support here? Thanks for any thoughts on any of these subjects, - Tom From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Dec 14 00:23:57 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7CF5D16A4CE for ; Tue, 14 Dec 2004 00:23:57 +0000 (GMT) Received: from blackwater.lemis.com (wantadilla.lemis.com [192.109.197.135]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D4B5343D1D for ; Tue, 14 Dec 2004 00:23:55 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from grog@lemis.com) Received: by blackwater.lemis.com (Postfix, from userid 1004) id EE9C685635; Tue, 14 Dec 2004 10:53:53 +1030 (CST) Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 10:53:53 +1030 From: Greg 'groggy' Lehey To: GG Message-ID: <20041214002353.GL84249@wantadilla.lemis.com> References: <41BDE0C5.2050308@charter.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/signed; micalg=pgp-sha1; protocol="application/pgp-signature"; boundary="L/Qt9NZ8t00Dhfad" Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <41BDE0C5.2050308@charter.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i Organization: The FreeBSD Project Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-418-838-708 WWW-Home-Page: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ X-PGP-Fingerprint: 9A1B 8202 BCCE B846 F92F 09AC 22E6 F290 507A 4223 X-Mailman-Approved-At: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 12:54:05 +0000 Subject: Re: DUAL PROC NOT RECONIZED X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2004 00:23:57 -0000 --L/Qt9NZ8t00Dhfad Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline On Monday, 13 December 2004 at 10:34:45 -0800, GG wrote: > Hello fellow nixians: > > My problem is, in Dmesg|grep CPU, im not showing my second > processor.

You'd be better off asking this question on the FreeBSD-questions mailing list. Give some information about what you're trying to do, what happens, and how you're sure that the second processor is not recognized. FWIW, I'm currently running 5.2.1-RELEASE on a ProLiant 6500R with 4 processors. It installed out of the box and recognized all 4 processors.

I figured I would subscribe to this list as opposed to the others because I have something of an odd problem which is directly related to matters hardware. Until about a month ago I was running FreeBSD on a DEC AlphaServer 1000, which is an old, relatively inexpensive server system based, of course, on Digital's Alpha architecture. Recently, that machine simply stopped working. You hit the power switch, hear a brief click and spinning up of fans, and the power light goes off about a second and a half afterward, sans any beeping, blinking lights or presentation of error information on the machine's built-in LCD. In my experience, problems like these are usually caused by power supplies, which in this machine's case is dazzlingly proprietary with all kinds of connectors and such coming out of it that I don't recognize. Realizing that tracking down spare parts for this machine was going to be extremely difficult, I decided to try the following: 1) Pull the drives out of the machine and remove them from their cartridge casings 2) Hook them together to an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card 3) Put that into my old PII/400 system 4) Install BSD and hope that somehow I'd be able to mount the disks as different partitions, get the data out, dump it somewhere safe, and then start over fresh with my new IDE/SCSI Frankenstein machine. Naturally, it's step 4 I'm having trouble with. The machine now recognizes the presence of the three 2GB drives, but sysinstall's fdisk calls the partitions on them "unused." When I do "fdisk da0" from a root prompt, however, I get these bits of relevant data: fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 The data for partition 1 is: sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD) start 63, size 4096512 (2000 Meg), flag 80 (active) beg: cyl 0/ head1/ sector 1; end: cyl 254/ head 254/ sector 63 The data for partition 2 is: And so on for 3 and 4. I get the same results for da1 and da2 (including flag 80 (active), which is somewhat puzzling to me). So. Be straight with me. Is the data on these drives completely unrecoverable? Can I do some gymnastics to get it back? I was afraid in the beginning of this little project that I might have an endianness issue. Is there some help for this, if true? Wikipedia says this about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness which makes me think that possibly my Alpha and PII are different-endian. Can I do anything about the data that's still on these drives if that's the case? TIA for any help you can offer. Anyone who wants it, btw, can have any of the hardware from my Alpha machine if they'd like it :) JD __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.

That sounds like a PSU problem. I agree that trying to buy a new one would be impractical (and uneconomic).

The Alpha is theoretically bytesexual but, AFAIK, only little-endian Alpha systems exist. Your A1000 is definitely little-endian - which matches your P-II. The only issue you might bump into is that longs are 32-bits on i386 and 64-bits on Alpha, though all the on-disk structures are fixed sizes so this won't affect mounting the disk. >TIA for any help you can offer.

Ah. I was under the impression that identical operating systems would do their disk structure in identical ways regardless of architecture, since to my mind storage is something of a processor architecture-independent function.

What precisely do you mean by this? I think that I've already done this (created a "functional BSD system") in a way, because when I installed the OS onto my PII, sysinstall remained largely agnostic of anything going on with the SCSI bus (or at least seemed to, I didn't have the option of writing partitions on the SCSI drives). I will try the disklabel trick when I get home, though. Thanks! > The Alpha is theoretically bytesexual but, AFAIK, only little-endian > Alpha systems exist.

As expected the BIOS would only recognise 137G but FreeBSD 5.3 is happily (AFAICT) using the whole drive. As a test I've filled up the drive and so far there's no sign of any problems, but verifying a drive's worth of data is taking some time. Would anyone happen to know whether there are any caveats with this combination? I was surprised that it worked because I thought I'd read something from VIA claiming that the IDE controller on these boards isn't lba-48 capable. Does FreeBSD automagically account for proper combination of the drive and controller capabilities, or is it merely seeing an lba-48 drive and assuming that I'm smart enough not to attach hardware that's not compatible?

To recap, I am attempting to install 5.3-REL from CD to a HP Pavilion XE746. I have upgraded the CPU from a celeron to a 850MHz PIII, and bumped the RAM up to 256MB. To simplify things, I have returned to a stock kernel. I originally tried to install using the stock 24x CD-RW drive (master drive on second port) in the unit, to a 2GB ATA drive (master drive on primary port). This did not go terribly well. Several times, when attempting to commit the slice/partition information to the disk, the disk would quit responding, forcing me to restart the installation. After finally getting through the partitioning, the actual install failed several times, claiming that the volume was full. (the /rescue folder filled the entire volume - and was 95MB on the corrupted disk) After many attempts, I finally got a minimal system installed on the disk - only to have it finally go belly-up during the first boot. Many configuration files contained random garbage, and I eventually scrapped the install. Also, using cp to copy files to/from the disk caused corruption. For example, doing a "cp -Rp /rescue /mnt/rescue" resulted in the same deal (volume full at 109%). However, I found that I could use tar to move files successfully. I tested this with the above "rescue" folder, and indeed, I ended up manually creating an install this way from an old SCSI disk that I installed 5.3 on. (note, the install to the SCSI disk on an old Adaptec 2940AU also went flawless, if terribly slowly) Long story short - I installed a Promise TX2 UltraATA controller and attempted the install again. The install went flawlessly (I'm using kmail on the install right now). cp doesn't cause any corruption problems, and the system seems to be running well. I would say this absolves the disk of blane, since it's the same disk as before. Also, and this may be unrelated, but the system is configured to turn ACPI on at all times. (there are no knobs to turn it off). Lastly, I have verified that the image is good (or at least good enough to install a working setup on an old 440LX based PII board) Any ideas what is going on? I have a lot of older PIII i810/815 based systems - and most don't have free PCI slots for an extra ATA controller.
