I am running a system with two Opterorn 242 processors in a K8D Master-F motherboard, each with 512M of RAM attached. The processors both work and the system will run SMP under wndows 2000 quite happily. Under FreeBSD 61. the system also runs quite happily single processor, but when I ruun an SMP kenel it freezes at the 'Waiting for SCSI devices to settle; part of the boot process. Interesting it also does this in single processor mode unless I have 'debug.acpi.disabled=timer'. The motherboard has three plugin caards on it - an fxp Intel either card, a Compaq 5402 RADI controller and an Adaptec 29160 which is the boot device. In case these were causing problems I have also tried unplugging all these cards are booting off an IDE drive. This exhibits the same effect. I *can* boot an SMP kene in 'safe mode' but this then only recognises a single processor. I am using the GENERIC and SMP kerenls with no modifications. Other people have reported this motherboard to work. The output from mptable is attached below if anyone is interested in trying to help me track this down! cheers, -pcf. skerry# mptable =============================================================================== MPTable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Floating Pointer Structure: location: BIOS physical address: 0x000ff780 signature: '_MP_' length: 16 bytes version: 1.1 checksum: 0xf1 mode: Virtual Wire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Table Header: physical address: 0x000fa300 signature: 'PCMP' base table length: 324 version: 1.1 checksum: 0xb0 OEM ID: 'MSI ' Product ID: 'RHAPSODY ' OEM table pointer: 0x00000000 OEM table size: 0 entry count: 32 local APIC address: 0xfee00000 extended table length: 0 extended table checksum: 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model Step Flags 0 0x10 BSP, usable 15 5 1 0x78bfbff 1 0x10 AP, usable 15 5 1 0x78bfbff -- Bus: Bus ID Type 0 PCI 1 PCI 2 PCI 3 PCI 4 ISA -- I/O APICs: APIC ID Version State Address 2 0x11 usable 0xfec00000 3 0x11 usable 0xfebfe000 4 0x11 usable 0xfebff000 -- I/O Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# ExtINT active-hi edge 4 0 2 0 INT active-hi edge 4 1 2 1 INT active-hi edge 4 0 2 2 INT active-hi edge 4 3 2 3 INT active-hi edge 4 4 2 4 INT active-hi edge 4 6 2 6 INT active-hi edge 4 7 2 7 INT active-hi edge 4 8 2 8 INT active-hi edge 4 12 2 12 INT active-hi edge 4 13 2 13 INT active-hi edge 4 14 2 14 INT active-hi edge 4 15 2 15 INT active-lo level 0 7:D 2 19 INT active-lo level 3 0:D 2 19 INT active-lo level 3 8:A 2 16 INT active-lo level 3 6:A 2 18 INT active-lo level 2 3:A 3 0 INT active-lo level 1 1:A 4 0 INT active-lo level 1 2:A 4 1 INT active-lo level 1 2:B 4 2 -- Local Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# ExtINT active-hi edge 0 0:A 255 0 NMI active-hi edge 0 0:A 255 1 ===============================================================================
