Does anybody have successful experience for running FreeBSD 3.X-STABLE
SMP on 4 Pentium III 550 with Intel 450NX chipset?
When I run FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE SMP on AcerAltos 21000, Pentium III 550 x 4,
the booting process halt at "Lauching CPU #1".
With 4 CPU installed, it halted at "SMP: AP CPU #3(or #2) Launched!".
And with 2 CPU installed (2 CPU are removed) --
<kernel.config>
options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
#options NCPU=4 # number of CPUs
</kernel.config>
boot: kernel.smp -v
...
APIC_IO: routing 8254 via 8259 on pin 0
SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched!
SMP: CPU1 apic_initialize():

On machine "Acer Altos 21000"(chipset: Intel 450NX), with only 1 CPU
installed, and boot using SMP-enabled kernel. The booting process also
halt at:
APIC_IO: routeing 8254 via 8259 on pin 0
[simply frozen here]
And on machine "Acer ProStation 7000", with 2 Pentium III 550 installed,
(chipset: Intel 440GX). The FreeBSD-SMP works in good condition.
andyluo.bbs@cis.nctu.edu.tw provides some related info --
Machine: IBM Netfinity M10 7000
CPU/chipset: Intel 450NX, PIII 500Mhz * 4
The booting process also frozen after detecting sio device. That is,
almost the same situation as Acer Altos 21000.
I also tried installing NT-4.0-Server on Acer Altos 21000, and it
worked. (SMP ok)
If there is anything I can do to make working it out easier, please
let me know. Such as, add root accounts on this machine for those
(FreeBSD SMP experts) who can help, so that "these experts" can login
into this machine and do some experiments. Or, provide Acer engineers
contacting channel, so that "these experts" can obtain technical data
from them.

If FreeBSD SMP can run on AcerAltos 21000, it would be a perfect "server" :-)
