I have an ASUS P2L97-DS ACPI BIOS Revision 1008 Dual cpu box
FreeBSD 5.0-DP2 #0: Wed Dec 4 00:26:02 CET 2002
CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (334.09-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x650 Stepping = 0
Features=0x183fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,
MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR>
real memory = 536858624 (511 MB)
avail memory = 514600960 (490 MB)
I also experienced unusable instability with 5.0-DP2 DUAL CPU kernel.
it crashed with lots of different stack traces,
so I didnt chase/report (lack of time, (I migh have found time
if it was one thing consiustently, but no time for a variety))
Easiest way to get it to crash in minutes was do several jobs
at once, EG
cd /usr/src ; make -j 10
Without the j 10 it reduced to `just' a handful of crashes during make.
I dropped back to a generic single CPU kernel.
( Which cancelled main reason I moved to 5.0-DP2:
to get ATA bus working with dual, see my Nov. 22
Subject: 5.0-DP2: SMP+ATA OK. But 4.7 & stable boot panic with ASUS P2L97-DS To: freebsd-current@
)
I'm down loading 5.0-RC1-i386-disc1.iso
