I am using this board for development of the SMP kernel, works fine: FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard cpu0 (BSP): apic id: 0, version: 0x00030010 cpu1 (AP): apic id: 1, version: 0x00030010 io0 (APIC): apic id: 2, version: 0x00170011 It is a triton-II chipset. > 3) It has on-board an Adaptec 7880 chip.

(AHC?) yes, from my SMP dmesg: ahc0 rev 0 int a irq 19 on pci0:12 Freeing (NOT implimented) irq 9 for ISA cards. ahc0: aic7880 Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 16 SCBs -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
