I'm a frequent reader to /usr/src/UPDATING But whenever I need to update or upgrade only, since years! Also I knew very well whats KERNCONF! i just wanted to know and make sure of the duo core options, and i searched the NOTES file, didnot find anything about it. Thank you for your "short" problematic answer :) by the way, After recompiling the kernel and From my dmesg -------------------- ACPI APIC Table: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor System Detected: 2 CPUs cpu0 (BSP): APIC ID: 0 cpu1 (AP): APIC ID: 1 ioapic0: Changing APIC ID to 4 SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! --------------------- But I still have few dmesg errors, these are the lines, acpi0: on motherboard acpi0: Overriding SCI Interrupt from IRQ 9 to IRQ 21 acpi0: Power Button (fixed) acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR acpi_bus_number: can't get _ADR unknown: I/O range not supported Timecounter "ACPI-fast" frequency 3579545 Hz quality 1000 acpi_timer0: <32-bit timer at 3.579545MHz> port 0x408-0x40b on acpi0 cpu0: on acpi0 acpi_perf0: on cpu0 acpi_perf0: failed in PERF_STATUS attach device_attach: acpi_perf0 attach returned 6 acpi_perf0: on cpu0 acpi_perf0: failed in PERF_STATUS attach device_attach: acpi_perf0 attach returned 6 acpi_throttle0: on cpu0 cpu1: on acpi0 acpi_perf1: on cpu1 acpi_perf1: failed in PERF_STATUS attach device_attach: acpi_perf1 attach returned 6 acpi_perf1: on cpu1 acpi_perf1: failed in PERF_STATUS attach device_attach: acpi_perf1 attach returned 6 acpi_throttle1: on cpu1 acpi_throttle1: failed to attach P_CNT device_attach: acpi_throttle1 attach returned 6 acpi_button0: on acpi0 and usb2: waiting for BIOS to give up control usb2: timed out waiting for BIOS usb2: EHCI version 1.0 usb2: companion controllers, 4 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2: on ehci0 usb2: USB revision 2.0 Any easy problematic ideas? :) Thank you ---Marwan >First read /usr/src/UPDATING. > >Really. > >No, really.
