This may be more properly sent to the SMP list... I have an Intel DK440LX motherboard with 1 CPU (the second is on order). I decided to try making the kernel with SMP turned on, to make sure everything works before plugging in the second CPU. One of the SMP web pages seemed to imply that one could run a SMP kernel on a uniprocessor box, with some performance degredation. >From my config file: #SMP: options SMP options APIC_IO options NCPU=1 options NBUS=3 options NAPIC=1 options NINTR=24 When I attempted to boot, I got a panic: no BSP found. Uh, what is a BSP, and where can they be found? Thanks, +C -- Thinking of purchasing RAM from the Chip Merchant?
