FreeBSD 3+0 does. However, it's in beta at the moment. From: Andriy I Pilipenko To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: SMP problem I'm running 3.0-CURRENT SMP kernel (as of 26 May 1998) on dual Pentuim II 300 (motherboard Gygabyte with Intel 440DLX). Everything are fine except that CPU1 appears extremely slow. Using top(1) I found that the process running on CPU1 is much more slow, than if it runs on CPU0.

There is an SMP-GENERIC file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf of this tree. --- among a multitude of others. hmmm.
