I'm lacking details on the exact problem here, but I felt it was worth a short anyway. Should I expect SMP to work on a Twin-Athlon system (Tyan Thunder K7) motherboard with -STABLE. The system has two Athlon MP 1900+ CPU's fitted, and 2.5gig of memory. Details are sketchy since I don't have the system here. I do note that it appears to have worked with -CURRENT on 29/08/2001 (as per: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=8693+0+archive/2001/freebsd-smp/20010902.freebsd-smp). It seems GENERIC with one CPU works fine, but trying to boot SMP fails, (with error messages that run off the screen too quickly apparently), just after SCSI detection has happened. I'll get more info when I can at this computer, including a full dmesg output and the kernel config being used. It wouldn't appear to be a hardware problem, as both Linux and Windows NT4 run twin CPU fine. The FreeBSD SMP kernel also runs okay if the second CPU is removed. I know it isn't much to be going on with, sorry. -- Dave dave@poddle.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
