What I did: installed 2.2-960612-SNAP made a supfile that said: src-sys release=smp ... and succeeded in supping it moved aside /usr/src/sys, checked out new SMP src/sys: cvs -d MY_CVS_PATH checkout sys cd src/sys; make all; make install cd sys/i386/conf; [edit LOCAL, adding 'option SMP' ]; config LOCAL cd ../../compile/LOCAL; make depend; make kern_synch.c and ??? complained about "NCPU" not being defined. after several false starts I found I could "fix" this by doing the config, then editing LOCAL/opt_smp.h b4 "make depend; make", specifically: #define SMP 1 # this was already here #define NCPU 2 # this I added then the kernel builds cleanly. I am testing this with a NON SMP board, so perhaps the following is expected??? It boots saying (something like): FreeBSD/SMP: Uniprocessor kernel [ all the normal boot messages ] newmasks bio c0000840, tty c003009a, net c00300b9 then wedges tight. Questions: is the missing NCPU something I did, or a known bug? might this actually work if I had a real SMP motherboard? thanx in advance... -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
