No Joy? Cc: freebsd-smp@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Brian: Make sure you've gone into Compaq's disk-based BIOS and set up the APIC as Full Table - Mapped in the system configuration. In order to see this option, you have to press Ctrl-A from the main menu (where you select the System Configuration option -- if you do it successfully you'll see a message that you're in advanced mode). The reason you need to do this is Compaq's wacky BIOS changes the table based on the O/S you intend to load onto the machine, so don't reselect an O/S like NT, Netware, etc. once you've made the change. I've got four Proliant 1850R's which behaved similarly. They now work without any kernel patches whatsoever with dual p2/450s, although mptable still claims the extended table is hosed. My Proliant 5500R with dual Xeons is still broken, however. *sigh* Hope this helps. -T >Well, tried the patch provided. It still doesn't work, but it changed >the symptoms a bit.
