Marc, I noticed you tried the BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER and whatnot already, perhaps letting us know what hardware you have in your smp box might help some, I'm running SMP and doing buildworlds and kernel compiles without a problem. I'm not however, running X nor doing any desktop work on it. I think I also figured out what makes the box so damn sluggish when doing lots of IO *bops dillon* :) -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
