Hi, I currently have a Abit BP6 motherboard with 2 celeron 466's. I'm not sure how to make FreeBSD make use of both these processors, can anyone give me a point in the right direction as to where I should be looking? I added SMP options in the kernel config, but I wasn't too sure what to use so I left the defaults in: # To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O # Optionally these may need tweaked, (defaults shown): options NCPU=2 # number of CPUs options NBUS=4 # number of busses options NAPIC=1 # number of IO APICs options NINTR=24 # number of INTs Would that be okay? And how can I test that I am using both processors? I tried running a CPU intensive program and the load average never went over 1, which I thought would reach 2 if 2 processors were in use. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Andy. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
