This is just an information only email. I set OS type to Netware 5 in BIOS and rebooted the machine. It hung in the middle of start up. It picked up both the CPUs though. Then I have changed OS type to Netware 4.x and rebooted again. It worked as per normal. In kernel I have only "options SMP" set as additional parameter, to support multi cpu system. I did not make any changes to "device acpi" parameter.

I just moved, so it's been offline for about a month and I ended up waiting for 5.4 to come out before using it again. The first FreeBSD I had on it was 5.2.1. To get the second processor working originally I had to set the OS type to Unixware 7. I have all of the latest BIOS updates (ROMPAQs, etc) installed on mine. That was a pain to track down. The system erase isn't that bad. If you remove all of the hard drives it should go pretty smoothly. I may try that on mine. Mine doesn't boot off of the array, I have a Promise IDE card in mine with an IDE drive that it boots from. -- Will On Sun, 22 May 2005, Turker Dundar spewed forth with great vigilance: > No, Unfortunately I could not get the kernel to see the second cpu.
