Hi I have compaq proliant 6400R dual xeon that I just installed with freebsd 4.10 (my first freebsd, although I have a lot of experience in linux). I tried to compile an SMP kernel (uncommented the two smp options and commented the i386 and i486 cpu). the installation went well but it doesn't boot. it hangs as soon as it start to boot (I'm not near the computer so I can't tell where did it hang, my friend who was there couldn't make something out of it, he only said that it hang after 2 or 3 lines, also I couldn't find anything in /var/log/messages). I was wondering if the GENERIC file is the one that the default kernel is compiled from. any ideas? also, I need some advise about firewall. I need a basic firewall (just to protect this machine, the network is already behind firewall). do I need to compile kernel IPFIREWALL support? thanx -- Haim
