It has 2 PII 400 processors and 256 megs of RAM in it.. The initial FreeBSD 4.2 install went just fine, it was snappy as it could be (as usual).. I went and recompiled a kernel to include SMP support and rebooted only to find the machine freeze totally when it got to the processor/SMP initialization (or what ever that is), it was right after it started to boot. I had to power cycle the machine to get anything to happen and load the generic kernel again.. Any ideas as to what might be the problem? I've checked both processors and they seem to be plugged in firmly and when it boots, I can see some information about both processors (from the hardware, not FreeBSD).. Would anyone have any ideas?
