To: smp@freebsd.org Date: Mon, 2 Aug 1999 14:28:31 -0700 (PDT) Reply-To: frank@exit.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL43 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Well, I went out and bought another PII 400 for my box, flashed my BIOS to 1.009, installed the processor, and built 3.2-stable for SMP. I experienced the same clock problems others have seen. I took a suggestion I saw in -hackers and flashed back to 1.006. Sure enough, the problems went away. I would strongly urge anyone with one of these motherboards who is trying to do SMP to contact ASUS (at tsd@asus.com) and report the problem. Maybe we can actually either get the BIOS fixed, or see what FreeBSD is doing wrong, if anything. (I sent my email to them this morning.) -- Frank Mayhar frank@exit.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
