Subject:   SMP kernel on SuperMicro P6DBE
Message-ID:  <199904161357.XAA15234@ringer.cisco.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Comrades,
I have swapped in a Supermicro P6DBE dual PII motherboard
and am attempting to run FreeBSD current on it. I originally
installed two 350MHz PIIs, and booted a prebuilt SMP kernel.
It ran fine for a few minutes, long enough for me to start
X, run netscape etc., and then it hung. After a few seconds
it rebooted. Checking the SMP web details, I tried a kernel
with SMP_TIMER_NC, but the same occurred. I removed one
of the PIIs, and it works just fine with only one CPU.

Are there any known issues with this motherboard?
Is there anything I should try to counter this problem?

I have attached boot messages and the output of mptable.
Cheers,
Andrew McRae (amcrae@cisco.com)
