Are those deficiencies still present > or did those options just disappear? The current SMP-GENERIC and LINT describe the options now needed. The older options you refer to should no longer be needed or used. Specifically all these are gone: options SMP_AUTOSTART <- now automatic options SMP_PRIVPAGES <- now automatic options SMP_TIMER_NC <- programmed around except for a few special cases, you want these and only these: options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
