-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I decided to spend the day upgrading my Dual Pentium Pro 200 system from FreeBSD 4.9 to FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE. Unfortunately, it looks like my system is no longer supported..... With APIC and SMP compiled into my custom kernel (essentially GENERIC with SMP and a lot of stuff turned off), I get a lock up during boot: ... unknown: <PNP0303> can't assign resources (port) unknown: <PNP0c01> can't assign resources (memory) unknown: <PNP0501> can't assign resources (port) unknown: <PNP0401> can't assign resources (port) unknown: <IBM37a0> can't assign resources (port) Timecounters tick every 1.000 msec .. Locks up here .. If I use GENERIC with APIC, I can get past this point, but the system is VERY slow. It takes an hour or so for the system to completely boot to the login. !! With GENERIC and APIC disabled, the system works fine and boots to the login at a normal speed, about a minute. But no SMP of course. I have played endlessly with the BIOS options, disabling all unnecessary options, etc, with no luck. Also, there are no upgrades for my BIOS. Any ideas/hints/suggestions? I would hate to have to go all the way back to 4.9! Thank you, - -- .------------------------------------------------------------. | Cameron Lerch, Victoria B.C.
