In fact, I haven't ever gotten SMP working completely properly on my machine (which is exactly the same). First, move your NIC into the first PCI slot, because none of the other slots work if you enable SMP (nobody on the list has been able to tell me why). Then make sure you have this line in your kernel config: options "MAXMEM=(1024*256)" # Replace 256 with however many MB of RAM you have Then, under the SMP section, make it look like this: options SMP options APIC_IO options NCPU=2 options NBUS=3 options NAPIC=1 options NINTR=49 Using this configuration, my machine boots and runs fine with SMP, it just won't see PCI cards in any slot but the first. I don't have a RAID controller in it yet, so this is okay, but I am a little disappointed in the lack of response I've gotten from the list, this is obviously a code problem relating to the 450NX chipset. As a final note, before you re-install, use the SmartStart CD to reset the whole machine, then select "Unixware 7" as your OS and choose to do a manual install. I've also gotten SMP working using "NT 4", but you have fewer interrupts available. Let me know how this works. -----Original Message----- From: Dmitry S.

However, my thought was the "problem" that was seen 1.5 years ago, presumably using some hybrid 2.2-stable + CAM codebase, would have been fixed by now. (And yes, I've checked my cables and termination.) If something thinks that there definitely is a timing problem or something with the SMP + AIC code, I'd be willing to hack away at it - mind you, "remote gdb" is a totally foreign concept to me.

Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I was running FreeBSD a while ago and I could never get SMP working. Here is my system: Dual PII 333 on a Gigabyte-686DX board (I think) 128 MB Ram No SCSI I would compile an SMP kernel and it would boot O.K but when I tried to compile anything or use the processors intensively, it would crash with an error like "boot on CPU1." I did email the list before, but no one had any ideas, so now I am running linux on the box and something interesting happens. I have to compile MTRR support to set up all the MTRRs on both the Pentium II CPU's because apparently my BIOS doesn't set up all the CPU's. Does FreeBSD have some kind of support like this? I would really like to ditch linux and run FreeBSD again, so if anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appricated.

You will probably get more of a reaction by goading the folks in -ports. :) Doug -- "So, the cows were part of a dream that dreamed itself into existence?

It just plain sucks when you want to take full advantage of your dual processor setups (I have two of them) and you get 3/4 of the way through the build (which is hauling serious butt, especially with SMP *and* SOFTUPDATES to prevent massive harddrive head strokes) then suddenly have your build fail because something was built out of order. They could at the LEAST have an option in the Makefile that said whether it was safe to do -jX. Then you could just set your setup to do -jX by default, and any Makefiles that don't allow -jX (because it doesn't work for that build) would override the option. That would be the MINIMUM they could do. I honestly agree they should totally make an effort to make their Makefiles -jX compatible. With SMP becoming so popular as you can get a Dual Celeron board for $120 and a pair of Celeries real cheap, more and more people are going to be using SMP setups. If people can't take full advantage of their SMP, because of issues like kernel threads, or incompatible Makefiles, they're probably going to look for an operating system that has more flexability with SMP. I have a dual PII 333, which runs like a dream when programs take full advantage of it. Apache and Samba spawn processes, which can and do use either CPU. I can (usually) buildworld and installworld with -j 4. Installworld with -j 4 and Softupdates is absolutely amazing. SMP can be a dream come true for people who could never afford to buy a motherboard/cpu in the 600-700mhz range, but can easily afford a cheap dual SMP setup. I say at least have an option or marking that specifies -jX compatibility, and then any of the port authors who care enough can try to make some optimization/change to allow it when they're ready. Better yet, if we got a system working, that Makefiles specify if they're multijob compatible, then make itself could detect your SMP setup, and maybe the load conditions (and an override option), and decide to do -jX on it's own. There's alot more territory to be explored here with this, and all I can say is, I hate to compile something on a Pentium II 333, when I have another Pentium II 333 sitting there idle.
