It's on the CD case = for 4.4 and should be in the release notes if not already. Appropriate wordi= ng should probably be added to the FAQ as well. =20=20 You're not reading what I wrote, are you? :-) Athlon *SMP* systems are not supported, are they? While I haven't really tried it, the kernel sources for 4.4 clearly say only Intel SMP is supported. FAQ 3.31 is about SMP support. Since not all people read the source, a mention in the FAQ about Athlon SMP non-support would be a good idea. Since you seem to be busy hacking SMPng, perhaps you could answer this non-FAQ: I am about to get a new Athlon system replacing an older Athlon system, The new system will use Tyan Tiger 246x. Any chance for -stable support for such a system (using both processors, that is!), or do I have to live on the edge and use -current? --=20 Torbj=F6rn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
