In my experience make sure you set the OS type to "Linux" in the bios as well, otherwise all sorts of things with apics and interrupts seem to go horribly wrong. I never could get the standard "Unix" setting to work w/ SMP on that model, or figure out why it failed for that matter. -Nick Sr. Systems Administrator, Global Telecom Inc. shadow@gti.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "vizion communication" <vizion@ixpres.com> To: <freebsd-smp@freebsd.org> Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 10:53 PM Subject: SMP on Proliant 5500 > Hi > > Here is the system: > > Compaq Proliant 5500 > Quad Xeon 500Mhz > Booting from Compaq Smart Raid configured to give 3 virtual > drives > JBOD on seperate adaptec SCSI 2 PCI card > Fibre Channel Array 1.2T > Adaptec AHA 6944A/TX 4 port PCI 10/100 > NVidia PCI TNT2 M64 32M Video card - working fine after a > struggle - configured as vesa vesa! > Built in ATI Rage IIc (DISABLED) on standard peripheral > interface > FreeBSD 4.7 > > My first attempt at configuring this system for SMP was a > total failure!!
