I tried downloading the latest code using cvsup..commenting out the following two lines...and tried to follow the make world procedure as outline in the handbook. However, when I try to boot with the new kernel...it doesn't work. Also, how do you verify whether or not both CPUs have been configured in = the kernel...and that they are in fact being used? Other flavours of UNIX have mpstat or prtdiag... Thanks, Marco
