Hello
I am running :
FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE-p2 (SMP)
on a
ASUS CUV4X-DLS Dual Processors motherboard (With 2 processors)
which had a onboard 'fxp' network card
in my PCI slots I have :
1 ATM adapter Forerunner PCA200E-SMF 155Mbps
1 DLINK 500SX Gigabit Ethernet adapter
With this configuration I have several problems some of which
may or may not be SMP related but I can't really tell so I need your
help.
1) the "lge" driver hangs sometimes for unknown reason
2) the "hfa" driver will do the same(and interested people
can looks at the atm@freebsd.org mailing list for details I have posted)
3) In order to see if these problem where SMP related I proceeded to switch
my KERNEL to non SMP
a) After recompiling my KERNEL to non SMP (standard kernel) my 2 PCI based
network card (lge0) and (hfa0) refused to work , they are detected at boot
time , and get configured properly , but no network traffic goes thru (apart
from pinging the IP of the interface itself.
b) when recompiling in SMP kernel mode , everything works as before
c) when recompiling in NON SMP KERNEL mode and removing a processor physically
(replacing it with the needed tab (terminator)) it won't work just as in point (a)
I am at a loss , I do not understand what is going on, I can't believe anything else than the
kernel (and maybe modules) need to be recompiled in order to work properly.
What should I do ?
