Hi Mathew,
Thanks for replying!
Here's what I see when I boot with the kernel I compiled a few days ago:
Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993
The Regents of the University of California. All rights reserved.
FreeBSD 4.0-19991113-CURRENT #0: Fri Nov 19 08:00:49 GMT 1999
root@cr717730-d.wlfdle1.on.wave.home.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL.1119199
9
Timecounter "i8254" frequency 1193182 Hz
CPU: Pentium/P54C (89.96-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x525 Stepping = 5
Features=0x3bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC>
real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes)
avail memory = 62033920 (60580K bytes)
panic: unknown bus type: 'MCA'
mp_lock = 00000004; cpuid = 0; lapic.id = 00000000
Boom... Locked up.
When I created the custom kernel config for this machine I did removed
devices that were not present in my system (as usual), and enabled SMP.
# To make an SMP kernel, the next two are needed
options SMP # Symmetric MultiProcessor Kernel
options APIC_IO # Symmetric (APIC) I/O
# Optionally these may need tweaked, (defaults shown):
options NCPU=2 # number of CPUs
#options NBUS=4 # number of busses
#options NAPIC=1 # number of IO APICs
#options NINTR=24 # number of INTs
A little lower I noticed that there were no entries for MCA, should there be
one?
controller isa0
controller pnp0 # PnP support for ISA
controller eisa0
controller pci0
Thans in advance,
Jason
