Hmm..having rebuilt kernels for SMP support several times, I can't help but wonder if this is a clean install you're dealing with, or an upgrade from a previous release. In either case, I'd cvsup your src tree with tag=RELENG_5_4, and follow the handbook kernel building instructions step by step. Putting options SMP there should work, but I don't remember if it was already there and just commented out or not. Here's what I have in my config: # Enable Multiple CPU Support options SMP device apic # I/O APIC After you have the latest sources and those two lines in your config, follow the build and install process from the handbook. Works beautfilly on all of the Poweredge servers I have here. :) Tony On Tue, 17 May 2005, Jason Lieurance wrote: > Hello, > > I have a new Dell PowerEdge Dual Xeon 2.8 server and the freebsd install 'sees' 1 > cpu.
