These boxes can be a real pain in the rear. You'll need to boot the config CD and get into the system setup stuff in order to tweak the MP mode. Here's some information relating to the 1600; AFAIK the 1850 is going to be very similar: ---8<---snip---8<--- Many thanks to Steven J. Bauer for the pointer. I now have SMP working like a charm on the machine. The secret was to consult the web page: http://potter.ieee.uh.edu/compaq.html The summary is that I had to install the Compaq Configuration Utility onto the hard drive (using the Smartstart CD), reboot and press F10 to enter the Config Utility. At the first selection screen, press Ctrl-A to enter the advanced config (a dialogue box pops up to confirm) and select 'Configure Hardware'. Choose the manual configure (i.e: don't auto-detect) and skip to the 'Edit and Review details' menu. Move down to the 'APIC option' and set to 'Full Table' (nothing else). Save and reboot and if your kernel is SMP aware, you should be away. :-) -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
