I have been trying to complete a make world on yesterday's current with a smp kernel. The machine seems to wedge on disk activity. It compiles for 10-20 minutes and then no longer touches the disks. The machine is still ping-able and you can switch vty's and a "top" is still running on one vty. The top program still responds to keystrokes but I can't login on another vty or over the network. I have completed two make worlds on friday's current with a unikernel and had wanted to try the worldstone on a smp kernel for benchmarking. So I beleive the new hardware is fine. The hardware is a Tyan Tomcat IV with two identical stepping P5-200 MMX's and 32 MB EDO with / and /usr on a NEC 1.7 GB IDE disk on wdc0,wd0 DMA 32 bit multiblock 16 and /usr/obj symlinked to /spare on a WDC 850 MB disk on wdc1,wd2 32bit multiblock 16 mounted sync,noatime. Additional hardware, one floppy, one diamond stealth trio64 card and a torisan/sanyo atapi cdrom mounted as slave with the WDC 850 drive on the secondary ide controller and finally an ed1 ethernet card. The config file is basically SMP-GENERIC with all the scsi and other nonpresent hardware ripped out. I do have DDB compiled in but don't know how to break into it from the keyboard. The running "top" shows top as running, two make's in select and everything else in wait.
