I was hoping that someone who already knew the insides of motherboard chips would pick it up and fix it, but I guess not... Essentially they refer to the fact that an APIC pin is directly connected to a PCI INT, (theoretically) freeing up the ISA path for another INT source on the ISA bus. I believed at the time that this could be done by reprogramming the PCI/ISA redirection circuit in the MB chipset, but never got around to proving it. At the very least they could be moved to "if ( bootverbose ) ..." Someone might also remove the: interrupt mask = cam <- SMP: XXX ^^^^^^^^^^^ from: trap.c: printf(" <- SMP: XXX"); I have no memory as to whether the associated comment is valid! -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
