I uncommented options NCPU=2 # number of CPUs options NBUS=4 # number of busses options NAPIC=1 # number of IO APICs options NINTR=24 # number of INTs and now the SMP works! Thank you. I was under the impression that these options represented defaults, and that the other two were the only ones that had to be uncommented for SMP. Any chance that LINT or GENERIC could get some more informative comments on this? I'd offer diffs, but I don't know whether all six options are necessary, or some subset. I've cc'd this to hackers for comments on this question. -- Ben Rosengart UNIX Systems Engineer, Skunk Group StarMedia Network, Inc.
