We tried to update the FreeBSD kernel from 6.2 Pre-Release to 6.2 Release (Stable) and our Dell PowerEdge 1750 multi-processor machines freeze on while detecting the second processor. In order to get the machines to boot, the second processor must be disabled in the BIOS. We had EXACTLY the same problem a few months ago when we updated to 6.2 Pre-Release. It was reported here and you kindly provided a patch extremely quickly. However, the same bug seems to have made its way into the current release. >How-To-Repeat: Simply update to the 6.2 Release (Stable) kernel on a Dell PowerEdge 1750 with SMP enabled and watch it freeze on boot while detecting the second processor. >Fix: Disable the second processor in the Dell BIOS. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
