You may need to play with the APIC settings. I haven't tried an 800, but it can't be too different from the others of the same era. Make sure you've got the latest & greatest firmware for the box as well. Early firmwares seemed to be a bit ordinary in how they presented SMP to the OS -----Original Message----- From: Gennady Proskurin [mailto:gpr@nvnpp.vrn.ru]=20 Sent: Monday, 16 May 2005 5:02 PM To: Chris Moran Cc: Turker Dundar; Kris Kennaway; FreeBSD-SMP@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Proliant 1600 with 2 CPUs Hello, Chris.

Try choose other OS, that is recognized by BIOS as smp-capable. Windows NT or so should work. --=20 Gennady
