It all seems to be working fine, except that some times on boot the machines hang*. The last output from the console is: APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery APIC_IO: Broken MP table detected: 8254 is not connected to IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 and IOAPIC #0 intpin 0 This seems to only happen if I do "shutdown -r now", i.e. a warm reboot. It boots fine if I power the machine off, count to 10 and power it on. I've collected a number of files here: http://www.gradwell.com/peter/freebsd-smp/ GREEN20012002 - kernel compile config file dmesg.boot - /var/run/dmesg.boot mptable - output from running "mptable" I understand this error isn't serious, but it not completing the boot sequence is rather annoying, especially as these servers have lots of work to do! Does anyone have a clue how I can fix it? many thanks peter * By "hang" I mean it just waits for ages, until I get bored (couple of mins) and switch it off. -- peter gradwell. gradwell dot com Ltd. http://www.gradwell.com/ engineering & hosting services for email, usenet, sms and web.
