The question was about adding SMP with a DELL Poweredge; on reboot the machine froze up. Do you get any diagnostics when your machine freezes? You may need to set the number of busses or interrupts in the kernel configuration file. When I compiled for SMP on my poweredge server, these were not correct initially. (I wound up with NBUS=4 and NINTR=37 for my machine, but you can do this by trial and error, adjusting the values when the kernel doesn't boot.) gary =========================================================================== Gary Lewandowski lewandow@cerebro.xu.edu http://cerebro.xu.edu/~lewandow Xavier University Mathematics and Computer Science =========================================================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
