Folks, I'm sending this to questions and smp because I suspect that the smp folks may be in a better position to answer the question. To those who get the message twice, I apologize. My system: Vendor: SAG Motherboard: AMI Goliath Processors: 4 PPro 200 Video: Number9 Image 128 2e SCSI: Adaptec 2940 RAM: 128M Solaris and WindowsNT run fine on this machine, in multi-processor mode. FreeBSD 2.2.1 ran OK except for X Windows which made the machine hang. I've installed FreeBSD 2.2.2 and I get many many mysterious bus errors and segmentation faults. The system as a whole survives, but many programs dump core. Anyone know what's happening? Cache inconsistency seems like a likely culprit. I disabled the L1 cache from the setup, and got the same result (but much slower 8-). I hope to try the SMP FreeBSD. Perhaps I should jump to some variant of Fbsd 3 and see if the problem disappears. Which variant would you suggest? Any other suggestions? thanks dayton Dayton Clark CIS Department dayton@brooklyn.cuny.edu Brooklyn College/CUNY 1-718-951-4811 Brooklyn, New York 11210 1-718-951-4842 (fax)
