Everything is ok till the following lines are displayed: SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! SMP: AP CPU #2 Launched! SMP: AP CPU #3 Launched! 2-5min freeze Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a ... I saw the same thing on other pe2850 with 7-BETA2, and I'm pretty sure that both servers didn't have such problems with earlier versions of 7-current and 6.2-stable. I'm running amd64 on both servers. on 6.3 hyperthreading is disabled and on 7b2 is enabled. I have CPUTYPE?=nocona in /etc/make.conf Any ideas where to dig and how to debug? Can someone else confirm this? I'm sure pe2850 is/was very popular server ;) -- Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
