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
