I'm building a FreeBSD system based on the Tyan Thunder i7505 motherboard, with Dual 2GHz, 533 Mhz FSB Xeon processors. Although the UP kernel boots just fine, when I recompile for SMP and APIC support the system locks up right after it displays: "APIC_IO: Testing 8254 interrupt delivery" I've seen some comments previously on the list but most of them seem to either have been resolved in either the newer implementations of the kernel or by the motherboard manufactures themselves. I've already emailed the Tyan support people with this query, but I was wondering if anyone else had any suggestions. The motherboard does have bios settings for OS/HT/MP modes and I have tried the following combinations: WinXP/2000; HT Enabled; MP 1.4 Other/Linux; HT Enabled; MP 1.4 Other/Linux; HT Disabled; MP 1.4 Other Linux; HT Enabled; MP 1.1 And have not had any change in behavior under any of these settings. On a related note the UP kernel boots great and everything runs well, but obviously I would like to get the SMP support working so that one proc isn't just idling. Additionally, can anyone tell me how to view the system information status (ie. proc status/memory/hdd/etc) in FreeBSD. I'm sure I should know this but this is my first real FBSD machine, and I havn't been using Unix for awhile.
