If by "one kernel" you mean a binary kernel that runs on both SMP and non-SMP boards, I don't see it in the future. IMHO there are just too many things that would need to be conditionalized at run-time to be efficient. If by "one kernel" you mean one unified set of world sources, that will work itself out when we do the SMP/3.0-current merge. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
