The GENERIC kernel boots just fine. When I boot a GENERIC kernel with SMP enabled the boot fails early in the boot process. The text from the console is below: Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #0 IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0 Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #1 AP #1 (PHY #1) failed! panic y/n? [y] n APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery [system is locks up at this point, no more messages] Also fails to boot a FreeBSD 4.4 SMP kernel, which leads me to beleive it's a hardware problem. Is this indicative of a failed processor or is it the motherboard? Hardware is a Tyan Thunder LE-T, BIOS v1.06, Dual Pentium III 1133 MHz, 2GB RAM. Any advise on diagnosing the problem is greatly appreciated. -- Scott
