Hi everybody, I am new to this list. I am setting up FreeBSD (3.4-RELEASE) on a 2-processor Compaq Proliant 3000R. We are an ISP and we will use this server for mail; we need stability and reliability. We come from the Linux-Redhat world and we have enough of it. I thought to try a SMP kernel before deciding to throw away one processor :), however I have some booting difficulties. I know basically nothing of SMP operation. Anybody can help me out? I get: [...] Programming 35 pins in IOAPIC #0 IOAPIC #0 intpint 24 -> irq -1 IOAPIC #0 intpint 25 -> irq -1 IOAPIC #0 intpint 26 -> irq -1 IOAPIC #0 intpint 27 -> irq 20 IOAPIC #0 intpint 28 -> irq 19 IOAPIC #0 intpint 29 -> irq 18 IOAPIC #0 intpint 30 -> irq 17 IOAPIC #0 intpint 31 -> irq 16 and here everything locks. In my configuration I have options SMP options APIC_IO options NCPU=2 #options NBUS=4 #options NAPIC=1 options NINTR=60 (it apparently needs to be at least 51) and the output of mptable is below. I will grateful to anybody giving me hints allowing me to continue the experiment. If you feel I am crazy to run SMP on a production server, I would also like to hear about that :-) Thanks in advance furio ercolessi Spin - Trieste (Italy) =============================================================================== MPTable, version 2.0.15 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Floating Pointer Structure: location: BIOS physical address: 0x000f4ff0 signature: '_MP_' length: 16 bytes version: 1.4 checksum: 0x00 mode: Virtual Wire ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Table Header: physical address: 0x000f51b9 signature: 'PCMP' base table length: 540 version: 1.4 checksum: 0x25 OEM ID: 'COMPAQ ' Product ID: 'PROLIANT ' OEM table pointer: 0x00000000 OEM table size: 0 entry count: 59 local APIC address: 0xfee00000 extended table length: 184 extended table checksum: 80 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Base Table Entries: -- Processors: APIC ID Version State Family Model Step Flags 0 0x10 BSP, usable 6 2 1 0x0381 0 0x10 AP, usable 6 7 3 0x383fbff -- Bus: Bus ID Type 0 PCI 1 PCI 9 ISA -- I/O APICs: APIC ID Version State Address 8 0x11 usable 0xfec00000 -- I/O Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# INT active-lo level 0 6:A 8 31 INT active-lo level 0 6:B 8 31 INT active-lo level 0 6:C 8 31 INT active-lo level 0 6:D 8 31 INT active-lo level 0 7:A 8 30 INT active-lo level 0 7:B 8 30 INT active-lo level 0 7:C 8 30 INT active-lo level 0 7:D 8 30 INT active-lo level 0 8:A 8 29 INT active-lo level 0 8:B 8 29 INT active-lo level 0 8:C 8 29 INT active-lo level 0 8:D 8 29 INT active-lo level 0 9:A 8 28 INT active-lo level 0 9:B 8 28 INT active-lo level 0 9:C 8 28 INT active-lo level 0 9:D 8 28 INT active-lo level 1 6:A 8 27 INT active-lo level 1 6:B 8 27 INT active-lo level 1 6:C 8 27 INT active-lo level 1 6:D 8 27 INT active-lo level 1 7:A 8 26 INT active-lo level 1 7:B 8 26 INT active-lo level 1 7:C 8 26 INT active-lo level 1 7:D 8 26 INT active-lo level 1 8:A 8 25 INT active-lo level 1 8:B 8 25 INT active-lo level 1 8:C 8 25 INT active-lo level 1 8:D 8 25 INT active-lo level 1 9:A 8 24 INT active-lo level 1 9:B 8 24 INT active-lo level 1 9:C 8 24 INT active-lo level 1 9:D 8 24 INT active-lo level 1 4:A 8 22 INT active-lo level 1 4:B 8 21 INT active-lo level 0 5:A 8 23 INT active-hi edge 9 1 8 1 INT active-hi edge 9 0 8 2 INT active-hi edge 9 3 8 3 INT active-hi edge 9 4 8 4 INT active-hi edge 9 5 8 5 INT active-hi edge 9 6 8 6 INT active-hi edge 9 7 8 7 INT active-hi edge 9 8 8 8 INT active-hi edge 9 9 8 9 INT active-hi edge 9 10 8 10 INT active-hi edge 9 11 8 11 INT active-hi edge 9 12 8 12 INT active-lo level 9 13 8 13 INT active-hi edge 9 14 8 14 INT active-hi edge 9 15 8 15 -- Local Ints: Type Polarity Trigger Bus ID IRQ APIC ID PIN# ExtINT conforms conforms 9 0 255 0 NMI conforms conforms 9 0 255 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MP Config Extended Table Entries: Extended Table HOSED!
