I don't know if they can; they're quite possibly still being written. I'll ask our source and see what they can come up with. Is it possible that this might be a new APIC? Any suggestions on part numbers to look for on the board? Anything in the SMP kernel output to look for that would identify it? The inference here is of course that if there's more than one APIC, we have trouble because we run out of room in the interrupt mask, correct? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-smp" in the body of the message
