FreeBSD 4 never supported MP on alpha. > FreeBSD 5.0, 5.2 uniprocessor kernel or MP kernel--machine check as it probes Here are some things to do/try. 1) Build a kernel with ddb and get a stack trace. When the machine crashes and you land at the "db>" prompt, type 'tr' This might not be incredibly helpful because machine checks are not synchronous, but it may narrow things down a little bit. 2) Disable all but CPU0 from the SRM console. There's a bitmask you can set from SRM (I don't remember off the top of my head what it is, but its probably set to 0xfff now). Drewhome | help
