According to the Micronics web site, I have to get a BIOS upgrade from Micron. For whatever reason, I have not been able to download the BIOS update; it gets about 18% done and then dies, consistently in the same place. I'm sure that means something. Anyway, I commented out the mpfps Base Table Hosed panic lines in mp_machdep.c but now I get "panic: no BPS" upon bootup. As I said, this system had been working fine with SMP for about a year. Any other ideas?
