I have received several reports from people stating that the cure to their problems with the recent code has been fixed by a cvsup & new "make world". My own experience was that a dual P5 system with a world as new as 7-13 would panic with the 7-16 thru 7-18 code. If you have any problems with the new SMP code, you must cvsup the entire source tree (ie NOT just sys) and "make world". After making world, rebuild a new SMP kernel with it b4 rebooting. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
